Hi Megan, I will definitely do so. When I got my first complete miniature set, all ribbons were attached with the names of each medal. Somewhere someone got confussed and changed the ribbons of the gold and silver bravery awards and change the MK and APLA bravery awards. The certificates were changed according to the mistake. Unfortunately no concrete confirmation, only the OC's word of the Medal Section. All MK awards have only 3 colours on the ribbons, but look at their bravery medals. Regards Archie
