Old Guys In The Snow: 1941/42 East Medal Ribbon Bars

Rick; not directly related to your thread but something I have often thought about, how someone would get a ribbon bar made up on the “front”
Would ribbon bars only have been made up when solders were home on rest at uniform outfitters or did uniform outfitters/jewellers have field shops where solders could purchase items at the rear lines of the front? <O</O

Originally posted by Rick ResearchWell, except for the made-that-way Mutant Freak with the 30mm 41/42 in the middle of the 15mm sizes. It is a commercially made bar... wish I had a PHOTO of this Fashion Criminal preening in his VERY, ummm, "unique" bar!

Another random thought...
There may have been some soldiers that weren't formally employed as regimental tailors that made extra money on the side by putting together ribbon bars and the like.
What brought it to mind... My grandfather (WWII, 8th Air Force) had some training as a draftsman, and make extra money by purchasing leather butcher's aprons, cutting them up, and then making squadron patches for the aircrews.
