Will's point is well taken. In the U.S. military, foreign decorations always occupy lowest precedence although foreign neck decorations may be worn. In an instance of a U.S. Medal of Honor awardee also having been awarded a foreign neck decoration, the MH would be positioned above/higher than the foreign decoration. Regards, slava1stclass |

MM?
Gents,
Although it may look like the British Military Medal, it appears this unidentified veteran was awarded the Czech Bravery Medal. Regards, slava1stclass Last edited by slava1stclass; 10-14-2011 at 11:21 AM. |

CBE to Coastal Defense Colonel
Gents,
The Red Baltic Fleet's Colonel T. M. Zubov seen wearing his British CBE as a pin back. Note, too, what appears to be an Order of Nakhimov. Regards, slava1stclass |

Nice photograph !
Every photo that I've ever seen of a Soviet officer who received a foreign neck order shows them wearing it pinned to their uniform rather than worn on the neck. |

Slava....
I would love to see any of those photos if you are able to post them ! :thumbsup I do have one photograph of a Soviet General presenting an ORB to an American Colonel. The General himself wears the Commander of the U.S. Legion of Merit around his neck, as prescribed. But I suspected that the award ceremony might have been a reciprocal exchange ceremony and that the Soviet General might have just been awarded the Legion of Merit before he himself presented Soviet decorations to American personnel. |
