My uncle Bob has all the history, one of the pic's I put on here was him getting one he..
also was in the odd position to get a czech medal as they gave to some Polish Pilots too. He had a strange old life in so many ways. Glad though, wouldn't be here talking to you if he hadn't! I have ultimate respect for our military, you're awesome folk.
