Tiger-pie Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 (edited) I was casting about for something else and came across this shot of Keith Payne. I have met the man in person when he visited the Senior Sailors Mess at HMAS Cerberus. He wasn't wearing his full issue of medals, and I don't blame. You would need a broomstick to mount that on!Regards;JohnsyVictoria Cross Medal of the Order of Australia ( OAM ) Australian Active Service Medal ( 1945-75 ) 4 clasps: "Korea" - Malaysia" - "Vietnam" - "Thai-Malay" Korea Medal ( 1950-53 ) United Nations Korea Medal ( 1950-53 ) General Service Medal ( 1962- ) 1 clasp: "Malay Peninsula" Vietnam Medal ( 1965-68 ) Australian Service Medal ( 1945-75 ) 3 clasps: "Korea" - "SE Asia" - "PNG" Queen Elizabeth Silver Jubilee Medal ( 1977 ) Queen Elizabeth Golden Jubilee Medal ( 2002 ) Centenary Medal ( 2001 ) ( Australia ) Defence Force Service Medal ( Australia ) National Medal ( 1975 ) ( Australia ) Australia Defence Medal ( Australia ) Meritorious Service Medal ( MSM ) 'Commonwealth of Australia' Issue Army Long Service & Good Conduct Medal ( LSGC ) 'Australia' suspension: Distinguished Service Cross ( DSC ) ( US issue ) Silver Star ( USA ) Cross of Gallantry with Bronze Star ( Rep of Vietnam ) South Vietnam Campaign Medal ( Rep of Vietnam ) 1 clasp: '1960' General Service Medal ( Oman ) As Sumood Medal ( Oman ) Pingat Jasa Malaysia Medal ( Malaysia Edited September 19, 2007 by Tiger-pie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megan Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Impressive!Both the VCs I've met were WW2 'hostilities only' rather than career soldiers, so did not have quite such a collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter monahan Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 When he does wear them... HOW? Does he have someone run alongside holding up one end, overlap or 3-4 rows? Even overlapped they must run for over a foot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger-pie Posted September 22, 2007 Author Share Posted September 22, 2007 When he does wear them... HOW? Does he have someone run alongside holding up one end, overlap or 3-4 rows? Even overlapped they must run for over a foot!They are very closely overlapped, obviously the above medals are for display at the Maryborough Military Museum.
