Just had this pointed out to me via my elderly father:

British Army Lapel Badge of Pride

I don't think I can face dropping into the RBL during the Jubbly celebrations.

That said, I should get one with the ACF badge on it. I could add clasps for annual camps and how many times I've been in mortal danger from blisters and liver poisoning. The max of five is a problem, though I'd have to have one on each side.

You're not going to let your dad buy that abomination are you?

Christ no, he had a lecture long ago when he proudly announced that he'd found out he was entitled to half a dozen medals he didn't know about

He still gets oodles of advertising though. I can guarentee, however, that there will be at least 3 of these in my local, I know exactly who will be buying them. Winds me up, two of them have respectable racks already, LSGC, but they still feel inferior.

Oh dear. I shall take seven.

Even considering all the gong snobbery these days, that thing looks like shit and should be banned. Medals and awards should be restricted therefore outlawing the tat some of these fcukers turn out. Queens Head jobs, official issues and records, nothing less.

That is a proper walt magnet

I've just ordered mine

Balcony
B20
That Airfield in the new Pathfinder book.
I'll get a shed load I'll look like one of those Russian Generals time I'm finished.

Think I should get a sash?

Just leave one blank, when asked adopt 1000 yard stair and mutter 'for those who can't be named'

Fuck yeah! And a pith helmet with a MASSIVE plume on it. And epaulletes with gold tassels and that

I've never been in a RBL in my life. Are they full of people wearing this crap or is it the minority? How sad are these fuckers? Don't remember my Grandad's being desperate for bling but they were both WW2 veterans not cold war warriors who can't understand they were the lucky ones.
