Yes, he started only in the last few years to be active in reunions, meetings and so. So he had no medals, insignia, etc. So I got him this chain and cufftitles just before his trip back to El Alamain:

Great gesture indeed, and thanks for the link to the thread, I haven't seen it before today!!!
Did you have the mini chain specially made??? Or did you buy the correct minis'
and put them together yourself???

I ordered the chain with badges at S&L. But they didnt had the parabadge available. So I told them to leave space for it, and bought it elsewhere online, and added it.
