Belgium: Overseas Campaign Medal 1951 (Medaille Commemorative Des Theatres D'Operations Exterieures 1951 ). With silvered combat service clasp 'Coree-Korea'

This type of medal has thus far only been awarded for service during the Korean War - and thus commonly - and wrongly - referred to as the Korean War Medal!

Note: Only an estimated 3178 x Belgian and 78 x Luxembourg personnel served with Belgium United Nations Contingent (B.U.N.C.) between 1951-1954

Silvered clasp: The silvered-clasp denotes that the recipient actually served under-fire during the Korean War, but did not serve in any of the 3 x major engagements commemorated on the 3 x separate 'Battle' clasps instituted for this medal, vis, 'Imjin' (April 1951), 'Haktang-Ni' (October 1951) & 'Chatkol' (March/April 1953). BUNC Personnel who did not serve under fire, while in Korea, wore a bronze 'Coree-Korea' clasp
