I hate it when things shrink in the closet. I blame the moths.

I would have to have two of my dress uniforms sewn together and then it would be snug.

May I ask what the ribbons are for?

The Blue Yellow and Green on the right is the Territorial Decoration and is for long service.

The Blue White Red is the Queens Golden Jubilee Medal awarded on the 50th anniversay of the Queens ascention to the throne

seen the full size medals were handy
