A video report at the BBC website (no embedding allowed, unfortunately) looks at the campaign on the part of Arctic convoy veterans for a specific medal to recognize their amazing story.
There are calls for recognition for the sailors on the WWII Arctic Convoys who risked their lives to transport crucial supplies and munitions from Scotland to Russia.
Although the bravery of the crews is not disputed, the men who served on the ships have never been officially recognised with a British campaign medal.
The BBC’s Robert Hall reports.
