Help with Medals

Post by JohnMcafee »

We have some WWII medals in for framing, and would like to get the layout right.

The medals are:-
  • 1939-45 Star
  • Africa Star
  • Atlantic Star
  • Italy Star
  • War Medal 1939-45
How should they be arranged?

Hi John
Another very good reference is:

http://www.medals.org.uk/united-kingdom ... ibbons.htm
http://www.medals.org.uk/united-kingdom ... bbons1.htm
etc..
ribbons*.htm...... * goes up to 9 pages.

They are shown in order of precedence.

No problem John.

We have printed those pages out and have used them on so many occasions when a customer appears with a bag full of medals and separate ribbons for framing.

A handy ready reference for the design desk. :D
