I have a reference work that tells me the prededence of soviet awards and medals. I know that they are displayed on the current uniform like they are on US uniforms. (wearers right to left, down each row of medals.)
What I don't know is how they were place when worn diaganally!
Was the order up to down, or still right to left, when each row having on 2 or three medals in it?
Also, I have seen the green work uniform with the medals worn diaganally.
I have been told that this practice stopped in the early to mid 80's. Also that
only enlisted ranks wore them like that. What is the real story? I have air force majors uniform and would like to dress it with the appropriate placement of medals.
Any help or references would be very much appreciated.
