Little ribbon rosette pins - newby dumb question
Hi, excuse a newby question, but what are the little wound ribbon pins that are shown here above the medals mounted on the bar?? If I research "rosette" I get all kinds of metal additional award pins; I think these are just another way of wearing a medal ;but how do I find out what they are for?
Additionally, I have been told to leave them on the original ribbons rather than re-mounting them on new ribbons?? Is this right? Thank you in advance for your collective knowledge. |

Hi
They look like at a guess rosettes for foreign miniature medals, they denote higher class of award. They have nothing to do with wounds etc....and I note no foreign awards within the group. So I may be wrong and they are simply someone popping them in with the medals from an old sewing box. Cheers steve |

No idea what the rosettes are, I'd not mess with original ribbons, but that's just my view.

Additionally if he is entitled to a foreign award it would be in the London Gazette.

I have searched the foreign awards but I don't think he received any. He was in the Royal Engineers in WW1 and the RAF (based in England) in WW2 according to family history

As far as I know they are not American. We only use small stars and oak leafs to the best of my knowledge.
