Order of Wear
14th January 2019
The order in which Orders, Decorations and Medals should be worn has recently been changed and the changes were published in the London Gazette of 10 January 2019. This list replaces the last list of March 2003 where the DCM, CGM, CGM(F) and GM, (all Level 2 awards) were worn after certain Level 3 awards, (notably the Level 3 Crosses, MC, DSC, AFC, DFC). The League has campaigned since 2005 over this inconsistency in the order of wear and are now delighted that this anomaly has been corrected.
Full details of the authoritative Order of Wear are in the London Gazette, Edition 62529, a copy of which can be downloaded from this page. Please get in touch if you need further advice about the order of wear of any Orders, Decorations or Medals.
