But two dont really count.
What are the other 5 for?
LSGC, Campaign Service, Accumulated campaign service, UN and one other (falklands?)?
I have four but one looks out of place, and 4 is plenty to pollish every time the Association or the RBL etc tell me to wear them.
Earned with honour, worn with honour in respect of those that didnt make it, before anyone gives off to me)

No defo not accusing you of telling lies, as I wear four, but only really count three of them as being earned by me, & all credit to you for the first 5, but I have never really considered that the other two should be classed the same as the others, although I have been told that my LSGC has been renamed as Long Service and not getting caught :-)

I agree to a point, but the other two have been awarded for "Services" so i count them.<br /><br />-- Tue Jun 28, 2011 7:52 pm --<br /><br />
