Scottish minister calls for Arctic veterans medal
More than 3,000 men serving on
the convoys were killed
World War II veterans who served on
Arctic convoys should be given a dedicated campaign medal, Scottish government
minister Keith Brown said.
The transport and housing minister described the current situation as a "scandal".
More than 3,000 seamen died in Operation Dervish, which saw supplies delivered to the Soviet ports of Murmansk and Archangel.
The UK government is looking into calls for a special medal.
