mrfish Posted 6 March , 2007 Share Posted 6 March , 2007 I have the medals of the man whose MIC is shown below... Can anyone please tell me what the "GS" prefix to his service number is? His medals are stamped PS-23121, the "PS" being "Public Schools" I believe? The Medal Roll has had the same "GS" prefix added... I'd also like to know what the "I.B.D." before his rank stands for, if anyone can please help? Many thanks in advance of your answers. mrfish ><(((((*> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
