My dad just received his Arctic Star (aka Arctic Emblem), a medal given to veterans of World War II who served on the convoys to Russia. You can read some articles about the medal here:

My dad was on a British warship on several runs to Russia. His final convoy was the most heavily attacked of any convoy during WWII and his ship was sunk, he was one of the few survivors.
