    Swiss Army ribbons and badge


    Recommended Posts

    My own personal ribbons from service in the Swiss Army, with the beret badge of the now defunct 3rd Field Division and my mortar company collar insignia for the Dress Uniform (The badge was mounted wrongly by the shadow box maker, the Swiss cross should be vertical)

    What do the ribbons represent? And does Switzerland award actual medals or just ribbons?

    Hi Megan, thanks for asking

     

    Top row is from left to right: General Service ribbon with active duty rosettes and the mortar gunner specialist ribbon.

    Bottom row: Military sports ribbon (2nd award), Specialist medic and nuclear warfare protection ribbon, Assault rifle marksmanship ribbon.

     

    Hope this helped..as to fullsize medals, see above post from Antonio. There is no medal equivalent to my ribbons.

    Thank you, both.

     

    Switzerland is a bit of an unknown to me, it's only quite recently that I discovered that they made any kind of awards at all. Yet another thing to add to my website... 🤓
