SOLDIERS who have had sex changes are to get their medals reissued to reflect their altered identity under new Ministry of Defence equality guidelines.
The 30-page document is part of a bid by the MoD to cut the number of sex discrimination claims made against it.
Replacement medals will be issued free of charge bearing the recipient's new name but retaining their original rank.
