It's not quite as easy as that. For example, if you won the Afghan OSM in 2004 and the GSM NI in 2005, you would still wear the GSM NI as the No 1 medal.

Gents, humble apologies, don't know what the feck I was thinking. Of course they're worn in the order they are won. Consider myself well and truly told off!!!!! :PDT_Xtremez_42:

Quick question though, are the NATO/UN medals worn before EIIR medals?

For example, if you won the NATO Kosovo medal in 2003, but the GSM NI in 2004, what would be worn as the number 1 medal?

Wrong, GSM (NI), it happened to me, NATO awarded mid 90's GSM in late 90's. Got mine court mounted, GSM first as it is a british medal, british medals take precedence.

Check Climebear's post #17, it quite literally gives chapter and verse. If your medals have been mounted in that order then the tailor has got it wrong (not unusual to be honest). Only you will know that, of course, so it depends how excited you want to get about it!

I couldn't give a monkeys if i'm honest. I was wrong, had the error of my ways shown to me, I now apologise. :PDT_Xtremez_14:
 
TBH, that's why I asked the question. I thought UK medals took precedence over NATO/UN bling but I'm now led to believe this changed in the 90s.
