No one can do it like the Brits. Truly. (Wish David Beckham had pinned his OBE on the correct side though!! Footballers!!)

I heard about this but would not have known the difference had it not been pointed out to me.

Yes, you wear your own medal on the left. If you are wearing someone else's such as if you are a war widow, you wear them on the right hand side. This is why you should wear your poppy on remembrance day on the right, because that is the side you would have worn your husband's medals who died in the war. (Think I have that right.)
