Arctic veterans win their final medal fight:
VETERANS of the Arctic Convoys who risked their lives to get supplies to Russia in the Second World War have finally been allowed to wear a medal of valour.
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office has made a U-turn over the Ushakov medal, which a grateful Russian nation wanted to award the veterans in May last year.
