NOK Medals

The 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 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.
