 :D Ah GS what a lovely portrait and I'm sure George had all these medals and perhaps more as he started his career in the army even before the start of World War 2. So thoughtful of you and kind!
Thank you very much! :D ;)

I'll post a pic of all he medal ribbons when I get in tonight...Sadly the MOD wont let me put my own pics into the system to then post ;)
One more charge and then be dumb,
            When the forts of Folly fall,
        May the victors when they come
            Find my body near the wall.
