Canadian Forces Decoration CAPT W.A. Brocklehurst Medal Full Size In Case DCO Airborne Regiment

The Canadian Forces Decoration (CD) is a long service medal awarded to members of the Canadian Forces who have completed twelve years of service with a record of good conduct. This example is a full-size medal accompanied by its original presentation case. The medal is named to Captain W.A. Brocklehurst, whose rank and service suggest a career within the Airborne Regiment, a notable Canadian military unit specializing in airborne operations. The medal features the sovereign’s effigy on the obverse, with the reverse bearing the Royal Cypher and inscription denoting service. The accompanying red and gold ribbon is affixed to the medal’s suspension bar. The inclusion of the case provides appropriate protection and is consistent with the item’s issue to qualifying personnel. This medal represents both a tangible recognition of individual dedication and a historical artefact associated with the Canadian Armed Forces and its airborne units.
