A member of the Canadian Forces who is the legal recipient of the Memorial Cross may wear the Cross on the service dress jacket with Nos. 1, 1A and 3 orders of dress. The Cross is worn 2 cm above the left breast pocket or 2 cm above any ribbons, medals or specialist badge the person may be entitled to wear. The Cross may have to be offset in order not to be obscured by the lapel of the jacket.
For Cadets, it should be worn accordingly, with similar orders of dress. Even though Cadet medals are now worn on the right breast, it should be worn on the left (as would any other medals or orders approved by DHH).
The Army Cadets Dress CATO authorizes the wearing of medals and recognitions from the Canadian Honours System - in which the Memorial Cross is part of.
The Air Cadet Dress CATO authorizes the wearing of Canadian Orders, Decorations or Medals.
Director Cadets concurs with this application.
