[quote="Fluffy_Bunny":1556d]Hey Wilkins, great pix, I also have some medals left from my Grandfather and Great Grandfather. You wear yours to rememberance service? I thought about that but then I thought I might look a bit silly as a 19 y/o walking in with medals from the North Atlantic 1939-1945 and some from the First World War. eek: I would love to wear them to the Cenotaph in London for a rememberance service, but I'm not sure what the legalities are of wearing medals whilst serving in the forces and when they are'nt specifically yours...[/quote:1556d]

ah, this is something I know. If ther medals are yours, you're supposed to wear them on your left, but if you're wearing them in memory of someone else, you wear them on your right.
