The Arctic Star adopted the AE\u2019s criteria.<\/p> <\/p> The two awards have a different evidential basis for eligibility which reflects their differing status. Although an official award instituted by the Ministry of Defence (MOD), the AE was never intended to have the status of an official medal; greater latitude in assessing applications was deemed acceptable and a greater reliance placed on the accuracy of veterans\u2019 or their next of kin\u2019s accounts or recollections. Once the Arctic Star had been formally instituted as an official British Military Medal, applications were necessarily assessed by the MOD Medal Office with the same degree of rigour as is, and always has been, applied to the other World War II Stars and Medals.<\/p> |
