<center>Notice of Medal Awarded:

Allies and Frenchmen,

This is a very rare occasion that this award is issued but I thought it well justified as did the Generalfeldmarschall.

By the Order of the Power and Glory of the Ages of the KÃ¶nigreich von PreuÃŸen and our noble leader KÃ¶nig Fredrich Wilhelm III, by the gifted right of the Old Order of the Peoples Germanius and the Ancient Realm of the Land, you, Field Marshall Jim Hall have been awarded the Order of:

Allgemeine Verdienstmedaille
(General Service Medal)

For Allied Coalition Officers who likewise contribute to the growth of knowledge and enjoyment of club members through various means such as articles, modules, running tournaments and so forth.

Small Note: Only one can be given out for the whole year and Ken Jones already has one, otherwise he'd get one too.

Ken is the only person to ever been awarded this until now.

Gentlemen of The Prussian Army
I awoke this morning to read of this great honour.
It is difficult for me to put into words my deep appreciation.
The medal will be worn with pride

Now Al, you know that that is the World War 2 medal given out jointly by the French and British for excellence in swimming the Channel in 1940!

Actually it would translate as "General Medal of Merit". Verdienst is merit. Service is Dienst

Congratulations.

Like I posted in the notice...we felt Jim deserved something for all his work and time with the club. There's another Allied member whom will get it, but we will have to wait next year as only one can be issued each year.

Jim your a great asset anywhere you go in these type of clubs...keep it up!! [:D]
