Stoniestpepper Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Also I meant the British War medal should have George V facing front along with the ribbon of the 14-15 star 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pylon1357 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Funny to read this, wearing medals the wrong way around. I know these were just laid out for the photo, but I know a Canadian Afghan vet who has had his medals mounted with the reverse showing as opposed to the Monarch. He has not done this in protest, or a sign of disrespect, he simply finds the reverse designs more interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoniestpepper Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 It was not me having a go at him, it was me simply asking if it common place to wear it with the reverse facing force, because I have actually seen a set similar to this with the reverse facing front mounted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry B Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I always think the reverse of many British medals are more appealing than the head of bust of the monarch at the time, I always display my Great war medals with this way round. Always great to see a family group, thanks for showing them. I don't have my granddads from the Great war but I do have my dads from WWII. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
