Buttons & miniature medals & pocket watchs
From time to time questions are raised about the appropriateness of wearing medals, other than those to which one is personally entitled, with the kilt.
Let me suggest that if one wishes to commemorate the service of a relative, they might want to consider the using the miniature version of the medals as buttons on their cuffs or waistcoat. Any jeweler can silver solder loops to the back of the medal and, if so desired, silver plate the finished button.
Those gentlemen who wear a watch can hang the medals (sans ribbons) from individual links in their watch chain.
This allows for the commemorative display of a relative's medals, without offering offense to those who believe that medals-- for what ever reason-- should only be worn by the recipient.
