    Hugh - Prior to 1947 the Navy/Marine Corps/Coast Guard Order of Precedence was 1) Decorations 2) Unit Awards 3) Campaign Ribbons in order earned 4) Service Medals - The Marine Corps, Navy, and CG  considered the Good Conduct as a "Service Medal" and was worn last. - This is a good test to see if ribbons were "Our Together" since it is not a well known fact except to long time Navy and Marine Corps Collectors.

     

    The Army on the other hand declared when the Army Good Conduct medal was created in 1940/41 that it was a "Decoration" and always worn first. This was important since the armed forces declared in 1942 that campaign medal production would cease due to material shortages but decorations would still be manufactured - That is why collectors today see so many Army Good Conduct Medals from WWII.
