Subject: RE: Help: The Russian Convoys (including PQ17)
Heard this song in the irish bar in Stavanger a couple of years ago. The title is The Medal, awarded by the Russians, not recognised by the British government and therefore could not be worn. First verse below. It was only a medal in gratitude given for brave service rendered a long time ago. For hardships endured and sacrifice suffered in cold northern waters of fog ice and snow.
