Hello everyone,
I recently won this ribbon rack on ebay a couple of weeks ago...Needless to say, it's an impressive ribbon rack, as it shows that the owner was a 3 war veteran, an officer, and someone who saw quite a bit of action. I was able to identify all but one ribbon, 2nd from the left in the bottom row. My main question is, based on how unique this rack is, is it possible to link the officer with the rack? What would a rack like this be worth as I'm not familiar with Australian militaria? If anyone could help me identify the original owner of this rack it would be very much appreciated!!!!
The awards from left to right are:
1st row
-Order of Australia (officer's grade)
-MBE (military version)
-Distinguished Service Order
2nd Row
-Military Cross
-39-45 Star
-Africa Star
-Pacific Star
3rd Row
-Italy Star
-The Defence Medal
-39-45 War Medal
-Australian 39-45 War Medal
4th Row
-Vietnam Medal
-?
-National Medal
-Vietnam Campaign Medal
