Dates on War Memorials

according to my biography of Stalin (Issac Deutscher published penguin 1st ed 47 revised 61) british and French troops acting independently of each other were active during the post revolution Russian Civil war the British supplying arms and equipment.the Vietnam war can be considered as from a Vietnamese viewpoint staerting from opposition to the French Colonial Forces and then the Americans who replaced them.you make an interesting point as the Czeckoslovaks probably considered WW2 to have started with the annexation of the Sudeten land

Yes its 1990 as regards to wwii. So as I was serving then does that make me entitled to the war medal?!
