Sri Lankan campaign medals

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Prior to 1956 the Sri Lankan armed forces received honours of the United Kingdom, including military decorations and campaign medals. Since 1981, Sri Lanka has introduced its own honours system. This has resulted in a new system of Sri Lankan honours, military and police awards, and campaign medals.[1]
