Due to the large volume of medals, we have been receiving, our mounters have chosen to cap the number of medals they accept per month. Orders are generally back 2 months after the month they were dropped off. For example, medals from June will be August, July will be September, etc. Our cut-off date for medals for Remembrance Day is 09 October. Medals dropped off before that will be back in time, medals dropped off after will not be. If you need your medals for a specific date, please let us know and we will try to accommodate that, or message you if we cannot.

The Gulf and Kuwait Medal recognizes the participation of CF members deployed or in direct support of the operations against Iraq during the Gulf war. The medal is awarded to those employed during the build-up of troops before the beginning of hostilities, and a bar is awarded for those deployed during the actual war.

Eligibility and Criteria
A person enrolled in, attached to, or working with the Canadian Forces may be awarded this medal if the person served a minimum of 30 cumulative days in theatre (between 02 August 1990 and 27 June 1991), on operations to defend against aggression and to liberate Kuwait qualify for the Medal.

Those who served for one day or more in the theatre of operations during actual hostilities (16 January 1991 to 03 March 1991) were awarded the Medal and bar.

The theatre of operations was the special duty area of the Persian Gulf, including Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, and Iraq as well as those other states on the immediate borders of Iraq.

Bars
Those who served for one day or more in the theatre of operations during actual hostilities (16 January 1991 to 03 March 1991) are entitled to the bar. The bar is cupro-nickel (silver in colour) with a maple leaf at its centre.
