Application details for Unit Citation for Gallantry

1.    Applying for your UCG insignia/patch.

Defence Honours and Awards website has an online application form which is the easiest way to apply for the award 
The application form file is too large to attach.
It is available by calling 1800 333 362
Mailing address is:
Directorate of Honours and Awards
CP2-1, Department of Defence
PO Box 7952
CANBERRA BC ACT 2610
In filling out the form Section E:  Leave  PMsKey blank and only enter your service number.
Section G: Write in   Unit Citation for Gallantry, Battle of Coral Balmoral
Note that the online form is ‘page progressive’ meaning that you can’t get to the next page without filling in the required details on the current page. I have not been through it so I don’t know if you are able to write into Section G.  If this is the case then please resort to the written application form.
 Page 6 is a Guidance Page and lists those eligible to apply.
