We have an update for you. What a true expert you are in your field! You told me that my Dad was entitled to two more medals and bingo what did I receive by courier today but the NZ Operational Service Medal. I have also got notification that he is also to get the PJM Medal and that his name has been forwarded to the High Commission of Malaysia in Wellington and they will undertake the approval and presentation of the medal!!

Order of Wear for Pingat Jasa Malaysia MedalThe Pingat Jasa Malaysia is an award from a Commonwealth nation of which The Queen is not head of state. The medal is worn before all foreign awards, such as the South Vietnamese Campaign Medal,and after awards from Commonwealth countries of which The Queen is head of state, such as Australian awards including INTERFET for example.The order of wear with other mounted medals can be confirmed at the New Zealand Honours website. World War I Medallion
This World War I medallion is in the clubrooms of the Morrinsville Returned Services Association, New Zealand. It is typical of those cast with individual names of military forces personnel killed in action during the First World War and presented to their immediate next-of-kin.
Wearing of Decorations and Medals by Next of Kin or Family MembersThe insignia of any order, decoration or medal, including miniatures, lapel badges and ribbons, may only be worn by the person to whom they were awarded.There is a convention or custom that is widely understood that the next of kin and other relatives may wear, on the right side only, on ANZAC and similar days of remembrance, the service medals of deceased military personnel. The convention is a matter of personal discretion, is limited to days of remembrance and applies only to service medals and decorations mounted on a medal bar (full-size or miniature) and not neck badges, sashes and badges, or breast stars. |
| Medals Order of Wear
When ribbons alone are worn, up to four ribbons can be mounted in one row on a ribbon bar before a second row centered above the first is started. The senior medal ribbon is displayed on the top row closest to the lapel and the junior medal on the bottom row furtherest from the lapel. We can advise on mounting and correct Order of Wear or go to the New Zealand Honours website. |
| Court Mounting Style
The Court style presents your medals with ceremonial excellence! The style evolved from within the Royal Courts to eliminate the noise of medals clinking together as a wearer went about the court business. Hence, this style is the accepted standard for medals mounting that includes ensuring the medal itself is fastened. The swing style can contribute early damage to the face of medals and ribbon.
