There is a strict order of precedence for wearing medals and their ribbons. Gallantry in seniority order first, leading with the VC, then Campaign medals in date order,then 'General' medals like the War Medal and the Victory medal, then special medals like Long Service and Good Conduct, then foreign medals. Sketchy but you get the idea. They may be US medal ribbons but the buttons seemed to be British. I am pretty sure this is just theatrical costume assembled from whatever was handy.[/QUOTE]
