    Another unknown medal ribbon


    Recommended Posts

    I picked this ribbon bar up at the weekend, mainly out of curiosity. I didn't recognise the mint green ribbon on the right (with the mentioned in dispatches type leaf) and can't work it out. Does anyone know what it is for?

    Thank you!

    Not to quibble with the actual practice Mike, but didn't the regs state that the MID was to be worn directly on the jacket if no campaign medal was awarded?    (Taprell Dorliing, 1983, p. 12)

    Good morning,

    I attach a similar ribbon bar awarded to Sgt. D.S. Fox of the Army Film and Photographic Unit. I also attach an image of his medals. Also attached is the January 1944 letter he received accompanying the MID and noting how it was to be worn.

    Kind regards,

    Owain
