Op Telic 1 was 2003.

Why do you not silver dip the BWM then polish. No black tarnish anywhere then. Perfect.

Great video. Can I ask how you would clean bronze medals I have a WW1 mercantile marine medal that is really dirty and needs a clean. Thanks

Thanks for another really enjoyable video. What is the ‘war’ medal made from? (I have my Great Uncles, and Great Grandfather’s), I have my GJM and am very careful when cleaning as I’ve seen some where the ‘gold’ has been worn off, which looks awful. Thanks, and keep posting! Duncan.

Just found your channel tonight when looking for info on how to do my own medal ribbons, great info on your channel thank you I sent an email asking about to put rosettes on and found this after Thank you again Trev

Hi, would you use this stitch to attach the rank badge to number 2 dress uniform? Iv seen you do the basting stitch throughtm the chevrons but not the felling. Thanks.

Nice. Don't supposed you have a video on the new Ambulance LSGC Medal do you?

Exactly the same medals I'm about to clean..were my dads

Cadet forces adults with 5 years service also received this and other jubilee medals. Massive problem with the gold plate being polished off on these. I called the Royal Mint when I got mine and they advised not to polish it as it’s only got 2 microns of 22 carat gold plate on it.

Thought the raf have been told not to wear the kings crown yet. A family member of mine is in the raf and he can’t wear the kings crown on anything according to his regs

What band?

G'day Paul, Very nicely done, and appreciate your time in explaining the medals and putting the video together. Thank you Digger! Hooroo!

Good morning. I have been enjoying your channel for some time now. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. As a Canadian, I feel that I must state that the Silver Jubilee Medal for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Queen of Canada was and is different from the British medal, and this was a first in 1977. According to Wikipedia "The Canadian version has a number of differences, with the medal slightly thicker and the crown on the Queen's effigy more upright. The reverse has a distinct design, and bears a stylised maple leaf with CANADA above and the Royal Cypher below, flanked with the dates 1952 and 1977." From this point, I believe that it was and is important for Canada to have its own version of Royal Commemorative medals as we are celebrating the Canadian head of state, and we must respect both of our official languages.

Great video, thank you. What make and colour of thread do you use for RAF No1 uniform? in particular, for medal loops. thanks.

My daughter´s been asked to secure the metal badge by sewing around it/the pouch. I can´t manage to make it tight enough to avoid the badge sliding out... any advice?

You've got love that. BRAVO ZULU as usual. Love your vids and follow you on Instagram too. But please Sir, may I have some more vids.

Where does the Afghanistan ISAF medal go, does it go at the end after the LSGC? I have the following medals, NI, Non Art 5, Gulf 2, golden Jubilee, LSGC, ISAF and Afghanistan campaign medal. Thanks

“ Is the order of the british Emp”

Iam from India my great great grandfather own the 1914-1915medal 😊

I have this one too, nice To have all of the jubilee medals, bar the silver of course.

Colour Serjeant not a Staff Sergeant.

See the British War Medal? I knew a number of WW1 veterans who could not wear that medal. Know why? They were so poor that they had melted their BWM's down and sold them as scrap silver. Yes, very true.

Should you clean the patina off medals ?

Great stuff mate Cheers Mike

Thank you so much for making the How To videos. They guided me on how to re-ribbon my Dad's medals which I wore at the Battle of Arnhem Service of Remembrance at Oosterbeek this year. MANY THANKS Paul.

Old video I know but I have a question please? I have the medals I was awarded as a regular mounted as they were when I left 20+ years ago. A couple of years after I left I was mobilised as a reservist for an op tour to Bosnia. The tour overlapped the period when command changed from SFOR to EUFOR. When I left theatre I was given a EUFOR medal which I still have in the box but a couple of months after being demobbed I received through the post another EUFOR medal and the NATO Non Article 5 medal. I was always under the impression that we didn't double medal for the same tour yet I have seen photos of soldiers from 1 GREN GDS (The then bn in Bosnia, wearing both. As far as I'm aware this was their first and only tour in Bosnia). I have decided to finally get everything mounted but wanted to know weather I re-mount my old set and just add the EUFOR medal that I received at the end of the tour or add both the Non Article 5 and the EUFOR or just the Non Article 5 as this came first? Thanks.

I have nine medals on my rack. I want to put a set of beckets/medal loops onto my double-breasted blazer. It will be the same technique but where would you start to position the first loop; on the lepel? Then across the chest towards the sleeve?

Thanks a lot for this tutorial which is very helpful ! With this method, you do not need to go through the lining (inside the beret) with your needle and that's really fine ! I'll have to do the same to sew an eagle on a ww2 military cap replica. 👍

Had my medals over 40 years and never got them mounted,have ordered the stuff they will be on display this year on Remembrance Day Thank you 🙏

Thank you for this, wish I had seen it last year when a friend asked me to do his, I wouldn't be doing it again this year lol

After an initial cleaning of these medals, only warm soapy water and a very soft toothbrush should be used afterwards as continual use of abrasive wadding/brasso will wear down the detail of the medal once the detail is worn away there is no way to replace it. Alternatively the medals can be sprayed with hairspray after cleaning to seal them. Avoid getting any cleaning material, water, on original ribbon as the colors will run.

Hi great video. I'm ex forces now. I need to sew enough loops for a 5 medal width on my blazer and need to mount the medals above my regimental badge so it is still on display below the medals. Should I sew the 1st LH loop above the lapel or below?

Thank you so much. You have helped me put new ribbons on the WWI medals from my husband’s grandfather. I shall wear them (on the right hand side, of course) when selling poppies

How do you clean the uniform when you sew the ribbon to the uniform?

G'day Paul. When I joined the RAF in 1963, I was issued with a brass button/medal cleaning stick. When a few years later I got my first GSM, I found the button stick was fantastic and slipped under the clasp etc to prevent the ribbon getting stained with cleaning agent. In that time I used DuraGlit. Not sure if it's still available in your part of the world. Great videos from you again. Cheers from OZ. Chris. 🦘😎

One day inshallah I will become an senior officer of RAF i.e Group Captain or Air Commorode can Muslims from Pakistan join British Army (Royal Air Force

Looking good!

I have just started in the navy

If you say core you got beasted it's corps

Previous video you stated 10cm now 10.5

Always been very well looked after by Windsor Medal. Quality mounting and professional service. Highly Recommended 🥇

When did the Indiana Jones theme become a Veteran's Day march? I like it. Don't get me wrong. I'm just surprised.

I have first war medal sir.

Thanks for your videos Paul. They’re always interesting and helpful. I’ve done my own bits of tailoring from your tips. Little question, the LSGC is 36mm but does it have to horizontally centred with all others or do they all have to be in line at the bottom?

Is a brigadier a flag officer?

Question about cutting the ribbon for ring/chevron medals. I didn’t see it in here but do you apply any glue or treat the ribbon in any way to prevent future fraying?

Thank you kindly for your video. I would like to add that His Majesty in Right of Canada has approved the Canadian design of the Coronation Medal (as it is different from that of the United Kingdom).

Look stunning bud

Very nice set of medals indeed. On the last medal, King Charles looks in the same direction as the queen. I thought that with a change of monarch, the direction would also change, like the coronation medal. Hmmmm perhaps I missed something?

Excellent mate 🎉🎉
