Seems to me that War I was over 90 years ago. Don't think folks would think the victory medal/ribbon was claiming credit on a younger man.
My great uncle Charles Scott served in France in War I with the 163rd Infantry Regiment, 41st Division (Sunset Division). I purchased a replia of the victory medal ribbon and wear it on a replica War I field jacket in his honor. Maybe I should move it to the kilt pin area of my Scott tartan kilt.
As aged as I've become I've never been mistaken for a War I vet imposter.

No one ever said he was, Ron -- but the custom I described is one that is followed in Australia, that descendants of ex-serviceman wear "grandad's medals" on the right breast for ANZAC & Remembrance Day. I didn't make that up, you'll need to speak to the Returned Services League (RSL) about it if you disagree. I simply was informing Chad as to how the Aussies do it.
Regards,
Todd

Sorry Todd,
Was only addressing Puddle Muddle's original post.
Should have been clearer.
Do understand what you're saying and think its a fine idea.

No worries, as the Aussies say, Ron!
