His c1970 Ribbon Bar shows the first 2/3rds of his awards.
Usually the two striped Red Star ribbon goes after the Military Service 2nd but this is a Type 1 Ribbon for the pre-1965 Order which was then replaced by the 1st Class.
On his main bar the Medal Of "10th Anniversary Of The Army" was removed and replaced with a second "For Bravery". By who and when is not known but probably in the late 1980's. His wife must have put the bar together for him as it is sewn together with long white hairs round the thread.
The pin on the Ribbon Bar is at the bottom (I haven't photographed it upside down).
