NZEF MEDALS

Can anyone tell me if it was normal for NZEF medals to be named upside down. I have recently been given a group of medals to a Pte Phillips and both the War medal and Victory medal are named with the letters upside down. It just seems odd to me.

Thanks

Mutley

Hi Mutley, this is not unique, I also have a NZ victory with the wording upside down so to speak but the war medals normal. I put it down to the New Zealanders being upside down. Gareth

Nothing unusual in "upside~down" naming;[ie it reads correctly when the reverse of the Medal is showing],it happens with UK Medals too,just a question of the Medal being inverted when the naming process was being carried out
