	Court Mounting Court mounting is the modern military standard.  With this style medals are mounted on a backing board and secured.  This affords greater protection for the medals, and is necessary if you are presently in military service or likely to be involved in ceremonies involving regal or vice regal presence.
	Swing Mounting Swing mounting is the style that was in vogue during WW2 and earlier.  Medals are mounted on a brooch but free swinging. Some women may find this mounting style preferable to the more rigid court mount.

All medal mounting work is done locally – minimizing the risk of medals being lost in the post or incurring extra postage charges.
