During our research to assemble the information contained on the Military Wives Website, as well as the individual services wives pages, we located and used a variety of reference material and resources.

Much of the information was taken from orders, directives, and regulations of the individual services. However, some of the graphics and such were located at medal manufacturers websites, catalogues, and such.
