I know of one person who with permission of HM the Queen, no higher authority available, wore whilst in uniform, the Orden de Mayo, awarded to him by the Argentine government for his service and the people he led during the Falklands War, the recently departed Sugeon Captain Rick Jolly RN Officer Commanding Ajax Bay medical facility aka 'the Red and Green Life Machine'. A man who with his team preserved life without fear or favour, they brought care to all. He was instrumental in bringing veterans of both sides together after the conflict.
I believe he should have been awarded a medal for gallentry for going down twice on a wire into freezing temperature water with no specialist protection to rescue two men who would have died without him.
