Remembered Today:

Order of wear, Romanian with DCM (GB)

Recommended Posts

Hello:

I am really not an expert in the order of wear of anything outside the British Isle, can someone help me with the following Romanian group (that includes the British Distinguished Conduct Medal GV)?

The medals are all boxed and come with their original certificates. I would like to mount them up, but in the correct order. Here is my best effort:

Major G. Gheorghe, Romanian Artillery

Order of the Star with Swords knights (Ordinul Steaua Romaniei)

Crown of Romania knight (1st type)

Military Virtue medal 1st Class

Military Virtue medal 2nd Class

The King Carol I’s Centennial medal

Peles medal

Victory Medal

Distinguished Conduct Medal (Great Britain)

Unknown medal 1 (not Romanian)

Unknown medal 2 (not Romanian)

Is there any way of researching Major Grama Gheorghe? I have a citation for his DCM.

The unknown medals I am sure I will find today, all I know is that they are not Romanian (or British).

Cheers

It depends what the other two unknown 'not Romanian' medals are and when he received them. Common practice for foreign awards is for them to be worn by date of award rather than by their status in the awarding country. (For sake of example, if you were a British recipient who got a French Croix de Guerre and an American Distinguished Service Medal - in that order - then that is how they should be worn, even though the US DSM is of higher status).

Sight unseen of the other two that order looks about right.
