We have heard from Chief Hurst and he indicates that he was unaware of the error in medal mounting and is having the situation rectified. It would appear that the medal mounting error was an honest mistake, which although unfortunate is by far the best reason for such a situation. Thankfully this was not a case of Instant Dictator Syndrome. We are delighted to learn that Chief Hurst is having his medals remounted correctly and apologize for the general tone of the previous post which has now been removed.

| What is the "Mystery Medal" at the end of the group? |
For the record Chief Hurst's group should be worn; (1) Medal of Bravery, (2) Diamond Jubilee Medal, (3) Fire Exemplary Service Medal, (4) BC Firefighter Medal for Bravery, (5) BC Fire Service Long Service Medal. The RCHA Bravery Medal and “Mystery Medal” should not be mounted or worn with the rest of the group.
RCHA Auth for wear on right breath only. At least that how it used to be listed by the chancelry
ReplyDeleteShould the fire chief be allowed to wear the Medal of Bravery and the BC Firefighter Medal of Bravery at the same time? They were both awarded for the same act. Same argument for the Fire Exemplary Service Medal and BC Fire Service Long Service Medal, they are both awarded for the same service.
