dutchbarge Posted 11 March , 2010 Share Posted 11 March , 2010 Hello, Sorry if this seems an insipid question, however I can't find a conclusive answer and am sure this is basic stuff to the Forum members. Assuming an NCO wins the MM, is later commissioned and wins the MC, what would be the correct order for wearing both these ribbons on an OSD jacket?

27thBN Posted 11 March , 2010 Share Posted 11 March , 2010 MC always first in front of a MM or. DCM awarded earlier .cheers MC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
findabetterole Posted 11 March , 2010 Share Posted 11 March , 2010 It doesn't matter what the rank the individual was when the MC, or the MM were awarded.. its the MC which is the senior decoration.. thus, is shown first. Seph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staffsyeoman Posted 12 March , 2010 Share Posted 12 March , 2010 Until 1992, a Cross outranked a Medal (e.g. Distinguished Service ... for the RN; Military ... for the Army and after April 1918 Distinguished Flying ... and Air Force... ) and took precedence regardless of order of award. The Medals were done away with then and all ranks now get the respective service Cross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
