    correct placement of medals and badges

    Hello all you fine members.
    Does anyone have information where I can find an illustrated example of the regulations of placement on uniforms of medals and badges awarded during WWII TR?

    That can mean many things? Do you mean order of awards on a bar? Regulations pertaining to how an award was worn or placed on a uniform? There is a basic discussion in Angolias book on Military awards but more advanced info elsewhere.

      ThankU for your response. I meant the correct placement on the uniform. Do you recall the specific name of Ltc. Angolia's reference book?

            A description I found.

            Not what you asked for but perhaps useful.

            I found this on the internet somewhere in 2006, I apologise to the author for not attributing to him.
            I am learning that I should note the sources on my reference material.
            If it is your work let me know and I will remove it should you wish it.

            Badge and Award Placement on Tunics

            Regulation prescribes that Iron Cross 1st class or KVK 1st class must be worn centered on the pocket or in a similar position on pocket-less tunics,
            then on viewers left, combat awards, that means IAB or similar and on the right Wound and qualification badges.

            For example a soldier serving in an Infantry unit and awarded the EK I, the IAB and the WB in black should wear it in the following order:
            centered the EK, lower down on the viewers left of the EK, the IAB and at right the WB.

            If it was an artilleryman serving in a Flak unit and awarded the EK I, GAB, WB and Flakkampfabzeichen he wore it as above
            but the WB below the EK I and the Flak badge at its right.

            This is what regulation says, but often the soldiers wore their medals in the order they wanted, I have seen a LW officer wearing
            his IAB centered in the pocket and below it his EK I.

            Find here two examples of regulations wear, left Obergefreiter Ludwig Neumair, right Oberleutnant Georg Stern, as you can see
            the DKiG will be wear on the left pocket and CCC above the right one.
