Medal cheats

[russ81]

Excuse the naivety as I have never been a member of the forces and know nothing of medals........ Could this fella have been wearing deceased family members or close friends medals and if so is that allowed? Or has he actually claimed that they are his?

Don't slap it, tap it!!!!

How's it going mate, great question, just a few bits of info to help you and others understand military honours a little better.

This clown is a wannabe just like the Hines brothers who are currently facing criminal charges for this exact offence.

This guy is claiming to be from the Navy holding a rank of Major General ( army rank not navy) he is also wearing medals that are awarded for gallantry and medals for nearly every conflict the ADF has been involved.

1. Medals which are authorised by the honours and awards system are to be worn on the left hand side only by the original recipient.

2. Family members wearing the medals of a deceased member are to wear them on the right hand side.

3. State awards and non authorised medals if worn must be worn on the right hand side, and are not to be mounted in conjunction with national awards.
