anton67 Posted January 17, 2021 Share #1 Posted January 17, 2021 Please help. I have been offered this British uniform. It is supposed to be from WWII and it has these medal ribbons on it. can anyone tell me what each of the ribbons is for and whether they are WWII period? Also are they in the correct order? I believe the uniform is to someone who served in the Royal Ulster Rifles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teamski Posted January 18, 2021 Share #3 Posted January 18, 2021 That first ribbon is most likely an OBE (Order of the British Empire) rather than a BEM. -Ski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
