Wearing Your Medals With Your Kilt

[macwilkin]

I know of no time that a civilian should wear the full medal and there are few time that most active duty wear the full medal.

See the photos in my post above. Full-size gongs should be worn with civilian attire for Remembrance Day, ANZAC Day, etc.

cajunscot you are right but all of your pictures are of members of the United Kingdom armed forces. In the past I know of no time that US civilians have normally worn the full gong. This may change.

But please do not do as I have seen and wear both the ribbon and the full gong. It should be one or the other.

If you look at the link Ron originally posted, the VA does show an example of full-size US gongs for mufti.

I'm curious about something. My first image of those in civilian garb wearing their military medals is of Russians. Would their traditions and experience in this matter have as much relevance as that of members of the British Commonwealth?

If you're talking about wearing medals with Highland attire, then the British Commonwealth example would be the most appropriate, given the many Scottish regiments that served with the various Commonwealth forces over the years.
