Both the Cabinet Office and the Ministry of Defence have received requests from campaigners for either historic decisions on the award of medals to be reconsidered, or for new claims to be considered. It is for these reasons that the Committee on the Grant of Honours, Decorations and Medals recommended to Her Majesty The Queen that the Advisory Military Sub-Committee be re-instituted earlier this year. Her Majesty graciously agreed to their request.

Details of the Sub-Committee's independent membership and terms of reference will be announced by the Cabinet Office in due course
