Medal BAr with Long Service awards from two different kingdoms on E stand.

[Scott Powell]

I have never seen two Long Service Awards from different kingdoms on a bar before, is this acceptable/possible? i saw this bar on the E stand and was a bit puzzled by the medal configuration. any insight would be welcomed.
thanx in advance !

Hi Scott, I was hoping some more knowledgeable members would respond but here is my take on it. I have seen bars with two LS awards on them. Mostly they are post 35 bars when the rules were changed to the wearing of two. Given these are from different states they could be considered different awards and therefore entitled to be worn together. Whether this bar is a post 35 bar or not is another question. Not everyone that was elegible for a Hindy cross applied for them. It could be a fashion statement in this respect. Still, nothing about the bar scares me.

thanx don. i felt the backing was post 1935, that would sew things up a bit concerning the two awards
