BATTLE OF BRITAIN ‘LACE’
The wearing of awards and decorations as an Air Force Association member brings obligations and responsibilities to protect the reputation and honour of the member, the Association, the Air Force, and the awards and decorations.
A Guide for the Wearing of Awards and Decorations has been released by the Air Force Association to assist Air Force veterans and their families on how to appropriately wear awards and decorations – whether the award be their own or worn in honour of their forebear.
The Guide is relevant to all AFA members including former members of the RAAF, current serving members of the RAAF who are members of the Association, and AFA members who have not served in the RAAF but may wear the awards and decorations of loved ones.
The development of the guide was led by AFA (South Australia Division) and supported through AFA’s Federation Council.
The National Board of AFA Ltd commended the initiative and approved the guide for release in preparation for ANZAC Day.
AFA encourages veterans and their families to review the guide to ensure the dignity and honour of awards and decorations are respectfully retained.
