N.A.T.O. Medal 1994, 1 clasp, Former Yugoslavia; Operational Service Medal 2000, for Afghanistan, 1 clasp, Afghanistan (25060305 Sig M S Harris R Signals); Iraq 2003-11, 1 clasp, 19 Mar to 28 Apr 2003 (25060305 LCpl M S Harris R Signals); Jubilee 2002, nearly extremely fine (4) £200-£240

M. S. Harris ‘enlisted in the Royal Corps of Signals at the age of 16, undergoing his 12-week basic training course at the Army Training Regiment in Bassingbourne in January 1997. He subsequently completed a 16-week Class 3 Radio Systems Operator Course, at the Royal Corps of Signals in Blandford in September 1997. This course covered antennas and propagation, voice procedure, proficiency at VHF, HF, Radio Rebroadcasting and also basic computer skills such as CLAIT.

Currently employed as a detachment commander providing communications and life support to the Headquarters of a Logistics Brigade, he has displayed confidence, enthusiasm and professionalism in carrying out his role. A charming and proactive individual he consistently produces a high standard of work and can be relied upon implicitly to complete any task. He has also proven his ability to remain calm and collected while working under pressure during operational tours in Bosnia as a crewman, Afghanistan as a detachment commander and more recently in Iraq as a shift second in command.

Lance Corporal Harris is an extremely capable and self-motivated individual who will undoubtedly be an asset to any future employer and is commended for all his efforts on the Troop's behalf.’ (Recipient’s Certificate of Service, dated 17 December 2006, refers).

Sold together with a copy of the recipient’s Operation
Telic Staff Report and Certificate of Service; and a photographic image of the recipient being presented with his Operational Service Medal by H.R.H. The Princess Royal, Colonel-in-Chief of the Royal Signals.
