Whilst trawling the net for some information about John Stanton I came across a website which stated that the SJAB was "only awarded posthumously".
I thought that they had obviously got their facts wrong but I've just noticed that it is also quoted on this forum in the "Medals and Decorations " section.
I still think this is an error.

Scooby Doo,

I have gone back and re=read the text associated with the SJAB medal and have clarified that sentence to say the medal could be awarded posthumously.

With thanks
David

Not a named group but a miniature SJAB medal group which is unusual.
