Petition Review eligibility date for Officers to get Long Service & Good Conduct medal.

I have recently discovered that Army Officer serving since 2014 will be issued with a Long Service and Good Conduct medal. I view this is a slap in the face for former Officers, such as my father, who served prior to the 2014 deadline, who is still alive, and spent 35 years in the British Army.

More details

I am aware of many former Officers who served full careers with the British Army and left without receiving a medal of any sort. It would be a great honour for them to receive such an award after 15+ years of unblemished military service. I would therefore wish for the eligibility date to be extended to those Officers who have served 15+ years since 1900, with the ability for their offspring to apply for the award.
