User talk:Pdfpdf/Medal entitlements of Oz VC holders

Right - several, then "Living" VC holders were entitled to the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth II Coronation Medals. I've checked some of the personnel records (Axford VC MM is one), while others (such as Harry Murray VC are found in pictures of their ribbon bars). I'm having a quick look to see which are entitled to which medals, but as they should be fully represented, it only seems fair that they are.

On top of that, I like the layout done properly, such as is present on the Ben Roberts-Smith VC MG, Mark Donaldson VC, Keith Payne VC DSC (US), etc. pages. Most Australian kids are never going to have a chance to see one of these up close (real or replica), it is important that they are able to view them in a manner similar to what they would look like (and I mean this - I was 35 when I finally "saw" a VC at the AWM).

I'm more than happy to work with people to develop a standardised package - citation(s), medal ribbon bar and then individual medals in a table looks good (to me at least). At present the whole shemozzle is all over the place.Aaron1975 (talk) 11:35, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
