Good morning,
A quick question on numbers of ribbons per row on No 1 Service Dress:
A colleague, like myself and serving in a very remote location, recently had his medals and ribbons mounted by a Regtl Tailor, as part of a job lot of QDJMs. He's got 8 medals (not unusual this day and age) and the ribbons were mounted in two complete rows. At a recent event in his No 1s, he was taken aside by a visiting Wg Cdr and told off 'they should be in rows of 1, 3, 4.' Is this so?
I had a similar experience a few years ago when military tailors at Aldershot (the wonderfully-named Glover and Ryder) mounted my (then) 5 ribbons in a 2+3 configuration. This was wrong, apparently.
