ANZAC Day Medals Part 2

When you attend one of the services on ANZAC Day, 25th April you will notice that a lot of the old timers are wearing a variety of Medals, predominantly on their left breast, indicating that they were awarded them.

Some of the younger people will also be wearing medals on their Right breast in a sign of remembrance of the original awardee of the Medal.

Part One are the rare Orders and very rare Gallantry Awards.

Part Two are the Gallantry and Bravery Awards

Part Three are the Campaign Stars and Medals, the most common.
