    1572596 Sgt K Fowler 77th Assault Squadron RE.

    According to the family, the flag/banner was taken as a sovenier in Goch/Reichswald area and then embroidered by Ken in between battles!

    I have now had grandad’s medals mounted by a wonderful chap over on the BMF, and also purchased a case to keep them in. I will never wear them but, as I mentioned before, I do have a miniature group (picture 4) for wearing on my right breast on Remembrance Sunday (as Steve, bamboo43, once wisely put it, a compromise). The Dunkirk is not mounted, I simply added it to the case for “completion”.

    Had to add their NAMCAS3 for the badge and also NAMCAS2 for grandad’s details.

    I got the smaller version for my brother for Christmas, as he also has a miniature group, liked what they did very much and thought it would be just the ticket for the original group.

    The photo doesn't do it justice to be honest. Looks great on the wall.
    Alas only the Lothians shoulder title is his - the rest I've collected over past few years.
