I wish I had it to hand when this visiting Wg Cdr had got a bit uppity!
... all you really needed was Chapter 8 to AP 1358. What a plonker said Wing Co must have been - bad enough getting "uppity" when you're right!

One recalls an aged rockape officer at Hampshire's Secret Helicopter base in the early '70s, who was frequently "advised" that his pre-'62 GSM ribbon should come after his WW2 ribbons - until he pointed out it was for Palestine in 1936!

But one has recently seen an MoD Staff Officer, with all of 2 Jubilee Medals, who managed to get them the wrong way round!
