A suggestion that medals should he wtii'ii on a brooch was mpde by Major-General Young at the re-un-iou of cxscrviccmcn in New Plymouth on Anzae. Day. He said he thought the Returned Soldiers’ Association might arrange to have this done. “And a lot of the ribbons are getting a bit faded,” he added. “Ribbon is very cheap, and we have rolls of it. in Wellington.” He knew t hey were all proud'of iheir medals. Shabby ribbons did not look well and it was worth while to replace them. He reminded them, too, that lust medals could he replaced at a cost that was not very great. “You can gel them at the pawnbrokers, loo,” someone interjected. “I do not believe if,” retorted the General. “I know there are medals of other wars there, but T have never heard of such a thing happening to the medals of this war.”
