Rank at time of award for stripped medal recipients.
Dear Department of Defence,
I would like to request a summary listing for the military rank at the time of award for those that have now had medals rescinded by Defence Minister Richard Marles.
Could I also please get the number that are still serving as SERCAT 7.
For example...
Major x 2
Captain x 5
Still in service = 3 out of 11.
Yours faithfully,
Bic Rurr
