History / Summary
The Australian Service Medal (1945 - 1975) was established in 1995 to recognise service by Australian forces in peacekeeping and/or non-warlike operations not already being recognised by the award of an individual campaign medal. Operations considered for inclusion must have taken place between 3 September 1945 and 16 September 1975. The ASM cannot be issued without a clasp. The clasp 'Berlin' was authorised for service in support of the Berlin Airlift between 26 June 1948 and 30 September 1949. 36 clasps were issued, all to RAAF personnel.
