Originally the Victoria Cross was worn as the recipient pleased, invariably being placed after the medal for the campaign in which the VC was awarded. A random circular display round the heart of decorations and medals was favoured the most. During 1881 it was ordered that VC was to follow the Order of the Indian Empire, and then in 1900 it was to be worn after the Cross of the Royal Victorian Order. The current position of before all other Orders, Decorations and Medals was decreed in 1902 by King Edward VII.
