John Chard Medal, Decoration and 30 Year Service Medal

[Wessel Gordon]

I have a question for the experts on the order of precedence of SADF medals.

I have both the John Chard Medal and Decoration and can get a 30 Year Service Medal. Does the regulations allow these three to be worn together? I could get a full set of 10, 20 and 30 Year Service medals but the seller informed me that the John Chards and the 10 and 20 year medals aren't allowed to be worn together.

The John Chards and the Good Service Medals can certainly be worn together by those who qualified for them.  In this case, the precedence would be

- SADF Good Service Gold (30 years)

- JCD (20 years)

- JCM (10 or 12 years).

Arthur,

Thank you for the answer.

I like the 10, 20 and 30 year medals as a set as they look good together but on the other hand I was attracted to the John Chards because of their unique shape.
