Medals are awards for special efforts achieved in military service
War Medals and Ribbon Bars show the colours of the campaign medals and can help identify quickly a serviceperson’s war experience. Worn above the top left hand breast. A clasp attached to a medals ribbon or a silver rosette represents a special meaning. Medals are usually inscribed with the person’s rank, service number, name and unit on the leading edge.
Here are some websites that can help you understand more what they really mean and represent and how to preserve them. I was fortunate to be given my grandfathers original medals from the Great War. His Service Number, Rank, Name, and Unit is written on the outer edge of each medal.
