On June 26th, 1857, the first Victoria Crosses, the highest military awards in the British honours system, were awarded to veterans of the Crimean War by Queen Victoria herself. Since 2006 the United Kingdom has celebrated its soldiers on the last Saturday of June.

From June 24th (12:00 GMT) until June 27th (9:00 GMT), play 3 battles using British vehicles (rank III or higher, with an activity of not less than 70%) to receive the “British Armed Forces Day” decal.

Complete the task in random battles, except for Enduring Confrontation missions and [Assault] mode. Track your progress in the hangar by clicking Nickname → Achievements → British Armed Forces Day.

You can find the decal in the “Holidays” tab in the Customisation menu.
