Royal Gibraltar Regiment Soldier Receives Wider Service Medal

Royal Gibraltar Regiment’s (RG) Corporal (Cpl) Aiden Cooper has been awarded a Wider Service Medal (WSM).
A statement from British Forces Gibraltar follows below:
He is the first member of the RG to receive this award. The Wider Service Medal is awarded to personnel delivering crucial operational impact,
where the physical risk to life is lower than traditionally required for an operational medal.
Cpl Cooper is one of nineteen soldiers and officers of the Royal Gibraltar Regiment (RG)
who have been deployed in Estonia on Operation Cabrit, a NATO mission in the Baltics, since October 2024.
The six-month deployment sees the soldiers integrated into a British armoured cavalry
Regiment, the Royal Dragoon Guards (RDG), working as a combined arms battle group
alongside Allies from the French Army and Estonian Defence Forces.
The British Army’s deployments to Estonia are an important contribution to NATO’s
Enhanced Forward Presence (EFP).
