The
(Extinguished) SERVICE MEDALS
Here at the Hussars, we value the skills that sets a chap apart from the run-of-the-mill soldier. Fatally. Here then are some special awards that are given out to other Hussars, most of which involve death for at least one Hussar.
Bars: These are represented by a silver acorn on the medal ribbon (because it is a kind of nut and that seemed somehow appropriate), and represent THREE or more awards of the same medal.
