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.
