      There are only two possible ways of wearing a large number of full-size awards :

      - either you have them mounted as shown by Christophe with ribbons and badges overlapping to some extent, wich is the British solution.

      - or the French way in several rows of three or four awards sewn on a piece of dark felt, which in this case with 15/16 awards would look like an apron!

       

      The only way out is to wear only the four or five most significant awards on one row and forget about the others.

      But this may not be allowed in some Forces.

       

      Imperial Germany had the "Prinzengross" reduced badges for official wear on the uniform. But I am not sure everyone was intitled.

       

      The arrangement on one row still seems to be the better looking one.

       

      Greetings and best wishes

      Soviet awards were worn obliquely at one time, which made it possible to fit a lot of them, although the overlap was small. and this uncle in 1917 received the Military Cross "1914-1917", and then another "1939-1945", not counting other trifles like the Legion of Honor)))

    3. amateur cavalier. Or the seller. The French like to attach non-statutory things to ribbons - cords, red stars, other ribbons, themed badges, except or in addition to the established stars and laurel branches.

    4. not all Vichy awards were cancelled automatically. regulatory legal acts of worms do not say anything about the replacement procedure, but previously, when replacing "1939" with "1939-1940", only the tape was changed.

      Decree of the new Government No. 1418 of March 28, 1941 provided, among other things:

      Article 1er. — The date of July 1, 1941, the procession of the war in accordance with articles 1er and 2 of the decree of October 4, 1939, assuming and not assuming, as well as the port for quiconque.

      until 07.01.1944, the Vichy Military Cross was awarded on a black and green ribbon

      Art. 1er. — A la date du 1er juin 1941, la Croix de guerre définie par les articles 1er et 2 du décret du 4 octobre 1939 est supprimée et ne devra plus être portée par quiconque.

      Germany had colonies, albeit not as many as Great Britain, in that part of the Pacific and Indian Oceans.

      And local "colored people" served in them, who were also awarded.
      This DKVM somehow ended up in Australia. I don't know anything else.

    6. the combat award is not a vaudeville plaque, it is simple, severe and concise. The Gold Star Medal of the Hero of the Soviet Union, as well as the Hammer and Sickle medal of the Hero of Socialist Labor are not awards in themselves, the award is the Title of Hero, and the medal in the form of a star is the designation of this title, as well as the field marshal's baton, for example.

    7. Clarify the subject of your interest. The pre-war uniform is one thing - soldiers with caps (earlier) and caps (later). Since the summer of 1941, a protective uniform with green insignia was introduced, but they wore what they had. Since 1943, standing collar and shoulder straps. There are no lamps on the breeches. The commanders wore both caps and caps. At the same time, the pre-war commander's cap with edging was canceled in 1943, they wore a soldier's cap, since it is more convenient than a cap when moving and does not unmask, it can be shoved under the shoulder strap, hands free.
      And the regulations, of course, were.But, for example, wearing an undercoat as an outer garment was not provided for by the regulations, but it became outerwear and even with shoulder straps. They also wore what was more comfortable. The Germans and Italians wore wicker baskets on their feet. Not according to the regulations, funny, but a little warmer.

    8. There is an opinion that these are the usual imperialist squabbles over sales markets, in this case hydrocarbons. At the same time, the Americans need to sell their liquid shale, the Russian bourgeoisie a simple gas. Geographically, this impoverished "wild field" with the Nazis, sovereign only on paper, which was a prosperous territory during the USSR period, Russia does not need at present. It is necessary that the good Western democracies do not accumulate their troops there in order to repeat the history of 1941. Do we need another marshal? I don't care. They are treated like clowns. At least ten grand. Hung up to the navel with medals.

      The newspaper photo and the photo of the document belong to the Sputnik agency at the link. This is the source.The fact is that this type of medal, even in the turmoil of the post-war years, was awarded on behalf of, after all, a public legal entity - the state.Private models with a convex star were awarded, interestingly, and not to partisans. But in the picture - it is the fixed delivery in the USSR.
