One question what would be the order of precedence for mounting the medals?

If you want a L d' H don't wait for the authorisation via MOD & French Embassy - my father's application went in 2 1/2 years ago, still no response of any kind to any enquiries we've made (his local MP's been requested to assist so hopefully we may get a positive result).
Looks like they turn up on eBay at around £100.
