Guest Posted 12 March , 2019 Share Posted 12 March , 2019 Hello: I am framing a set of four medals together (Pip, Squeak and Wilfred, plus a Long Service and Good Conduct medal). I'm assuming that the British War Medal (Squeak) should be displayed with George V head showing rather than the horse and rider on the obverse, as this is the way it's shown in 99% of photos I've seen of them framed together, but should the Long Service medal also be shown with the King's head displayed rather than the 'Diuturne Fidelis' on the obverse? Is it a rule that any medal having the King's head on it should always have that side displayed? Thanks for any advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trench whistle Posted 12 March , 2019 Share Posted 12 March , 2019 yes with British medals the Monarch's head is always the obverse of the medal and should be displayed facing outwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilB Posted 13 March , 2019 Share Posted 13 March , 2019 The plaque is difficult to secure in a frame - any tips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any residue left on the back of the plaque can be removed with a little nail varnish remover. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seaJane Posted 14 March , 2019 Share Posted 14 March , 2019 Ouch. I'd be worried about the long-term effects of the adhesive, having rescued some medals from velcro in my time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
