No, he means the ribbon on the 14-15 Star is wrong way round... should be red/white/blue as viewed from the front.

Also I meant the British War medal should have George V facing front along with the ribbon of the 14-15 star

Funny to read this, wearing medals the wrong way around. I know these were just laid out for the photo, but I know a Canadian Afghan vet who has had his medals mounted with the reverse showing as opposed to the Monarch. 

 

He has not done this in protest, or a sign of disrespect, he simply finds the reverse designs more interesting.

It was not me having a go at him, it was me simply asking if it common place to wear it with the reverse facing force, because I have actually seen a set similar to this with the reverse facing front mounted

I always think the reverse of many British medals are more appealing than the head of bust of the monarch at the time, I always display my Great war medals with this way round.

 

Always great to see a family group, thanks for showing them.  I don't have my granddads from the Great war but I do have my dads from WWII.
