I didn't even know that you could wear someone else's medals, much less what side to correctly wear them on, tbh.

Me neither.

Australian protocol on this different to American protocol. We're allowed to wear them - you're not - and it is pretty widely known.

[wemblee]

Ah, okay! Interesting, good to know.

Ya, I had no idea and I have some of my grandfather's medals. (which I don't wear)

Ahh, would explain why I'd never heard anything about that, then.

Actually, it was ruled that saying you can't wear medals you didn't earn "violates freedom of speech". You just can't "profit" from them. /eyeroll

It's the same in the UK. At remembrance my great uncle used to wear his deceased brothers' medals on the other side of his chest to remember them as well - his fellow veterans knew why they were there, that they weren't his and why he wored them

Yeah I uhm. Don't think this is "common knowledge". At all.
