The Special Force Wings may possibly be locally/field made. If the grouping is all to one man he could have served with Force 136, the Burma Star being the only Campaign medal. I have not seen this pattern of Wing before and the only examples I know of, that are 100% from members of Force 136, are shown in the attached images. The original Jedburgh SF Wing, previously illustrated by dobw, was worn by Jedburghs who served in the European Theater and trained at Milton Hall, also where it was issued. There was a view, by the veterans, that only those who were at Milton Hall, and subsequently served in Force 136, could be truly entitled Jedburghs. Those that served solely with Force 136 were not thought of as Jedburghs by them. If a list of names of Force 136 Officers can be located, then hopefully E.B.Vivien will be one of them. Kind regards, Clive.
