so he wears them in the order that the got issued to him?

Do you have exemples of this? Does the official UN site contains all the medals?

Why is he wearing a French medal "between" 2 Russian one's?

I have found the article about the K9-coins. It is a Dutch article, but I wil tell you now the main things of the text. In 2007 there were some NATO medals awarded to some dutch guard dogs that guarded the airfield of Kandahar. But the airforce-leaders didn't like it (the found that it goes to far). And they prohibited (is this the good word?) it. That is why the designed special coins for the guard dogs. The coins will be awarded to the owners/bosses/trainers/companions of the dogs. This goes with a little ceremony. And they also get a certificate/document with the design of the NATO medals on the name of the dog. There are 2 versions of the coin, a gold-coulored and silver-coulored one. The first one is for collectors and the second one is the version that will be awarded. If you are interested in the dutch article, just send me a message. I hope you understand my englisch, it is not so good ;)

what a wonderfull collection.

Wow!!!! You have a collection of high quality.

Ed, a very nice collection of Soviet awards. Is it possible to track down the serial numbers on the back of the Badge of Honour?
