Got two DFC's in the family which are both Grandad's, one that is in a frame thing...
uncle has the other but it's his if you see what I mean - as in Grandad's even if he did pass a long time ago. I suppose like Mr Tombs said, ok to wear it at a parade as in one of the family could as a sign of respect. I dunno. Just seems harsh that if people go buying medals and wear them they could be put in jail - sounds more a mental health problem to me.
