THE Guyana Defence Force (GDF) has warned that it is against the law to use any of its military decoration, badge, emblem, wound stripe, or any such military paraphernalia which resembles the aforementioned.

This is strictly prohibited by law and does not accrue any special privilege or immunity from the State, GDF said in a release.

According to the GDF, members of the public are strongly advised to desist from displaying any such items on their person or property, inclusive of motor vehicles, clothing, bags, buildings, etc. “Persons desirous of using these items for any bona fide public performances, stage plays, skits, etc., must first seek approval in writing from the Guyana Defence Force before so doing. Persons found in contravention of this law are liable to be prosecution by the civil authority,” the GDF warned.
