The article currently states that this medal is the only one in which the sovereign faces right and that sovereigns always face left on all other medals. However, this is incorrect, as the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth II versions of the Canadian Forces Decoration face in different directions. As such, I will remove this note.--JMesh (talk) 15:44, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
