No "if" about it, wearing decorations you are not entitled to IS illegal.
(ectept on the stage, etc.)
Which is why most clubs there rule that no decorations or insigna of rank
may be worn _unless_ the wearer is entitled to them.
In other words, you can only wear the Légion d'Honneur and captain's
stripes if you are a Captain in the French Army, and have earned the Légion
d'Honneur. (not many of those at our meetings ;-)
OTOH, participants were invited to try to look unconspicuous on their MVs,
and wear a battle-dress, OD fatigues or an OD boiler-suit rather than jeans
and a red checkered shirt !
