The Silver Medal is awarded to British Forces in recognition of minor campaigns and operations between 1962 and 2007.

11. "GULF"
12. "KUWAIT"
13. "N. IRAQ & S. TURKEY"

The Royal Warrant allows for the institution of additional clasps. A bronze oak leaf may also be awarded to recipients of the Medal who have received a mention in despatches.
