  • Decorations – When to Wear
    This note is one of a series placed in the Almanac for the guidance of livery masters, wardens, and their clerks, especially new ones, seeking advice on a particular topic. They are not prescriptive, and how individual companies choose to conduct their affairs is, of course, entirely up to them. Most are written by a past chairman of the Livery Committee, of whom you may read more at the foot of the Contact page. Decorations – when to wear Introduction Elsewhere in the Dinners & Protocol folder of this website is a link to the Royal British Legion advice on the wearing of medals. Debrett’s Correct Form also gives interesting guidance (p.303 of the 1999 edition). There is also a note about when to wear Livery Badges (of office) in this Almanac. But this note simply addresses the different issue of: When should the host (livery company) specify that the (usually) dinner is to be an occasion when guests are asked to wear “Decorations”. As in all else, the Clerk will be guided by their company’s precedent, and custom & practice. Guidance But a new clerk, of maybe a new company, may seek guidance, where no precedent is apparent. He/she has the option of Always, Never, or Sometimes. The first two have obvious attractions, but the third is probably the correct one. Those with decorations (esp significant ones e.g. Orders of the British Empire) may understandably welcome the opportunity to wear their gong, and formal livery dinners are one of the relatively rare occasions when they can properly do so.

  • American Campaign Medal
    World War II American Campaign Medal History & Service Requirements The American Campaign Medal was established by President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Executive Order 9265 dated 6 November 1942, and subsequently amended by President Harry S. Truman’s Executive Order 9706 dated 15 March 1946, to be awarded to members of the Armed Forces who served in the American Theater between 7 December 1941 and 2 March 1946. The American Theater included North America (except Alaska which was part of the Pacific Theater) and South America. Service criteria for the American Campaign Medal included that the service member qualified under any of the following conditions: ● Service within the continental limits of the United States for an aggregate period of one year. ● Permanent assignment outside the continental limits of the United States. ● Permanent assignment as a member of a crew or vessel sailing ocean waters for a period of 30 consecutive or 60 non-consecutive days. ● Permanent assignment as a member of an airplane operations crew making regular or frequent flights over ocean waters for a period of 30 days. ● Service outside the continental United States in a passenger status or temporary duty for 30 consecutive or 60 non-consecutive days. ● Active combat against the enemy and was awarded a combat decoration or certificate. The ribbon design was approved by the Secretary of War in November 1942. The background of the ribbons was blue to represent the Americas. The black and white stripes represented Germany and the red and white stripes represented Japan. The center blue, white, and red stripes were taken from the American Defense Service Medal to represent the continued defense of the United States after Pearl Harbor.

It is uncertain who first instituted the custom of granting medals to individuals for acts of bravery or for military services. Scipio Aemilius is said to have bestowed wreaths of roses upon his men of the eleventh Legion at Carthage in 146 B.
