It may be worth breaking them down into smaller groups of separate pictures so they are easier to see and list the identity.

That way members may use the LETTER row & then cross to the NUMBER row to the exact rosette.

 

 

 

 

B/11 I think is the Distinquished Service Medal

Here is my best shot. I would still look these up using the rosette in hand to see the details better. I had no idea there was so many until I went looking some up...wow.

 

A5-SPANISH WAR SERVICE

A6-DFC

A9-SILVER STAR

B7-POW MEDAL

C6-CHINA RELIEF

What are these and their purpose? I've not seen them before.

Worn in the lapels of civilian dress coats to represent awards. They come in the various ribbon colors of military and civil awards.

A5 is definitely the Spanish War Service...I have one of them in my personal collection.

Thanks for that link Jack's Son. I've seen it before. I like rosettes, I wish folks would wear them more often. I have one for the Air Medal and the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal, both of which I've earned, but I never wear them! Somewhere on this forum, I posted a quote about how rosettes are made.....

I agree Pete, I think they are a very understated way of show your service, and educating others as well.

If they made one for the ICM, I would consider it but then I would have to have cards made up to just hand people instead of explaining it all the time :)
