Sorry Mark,

My fault, I didn't explain it very well. You are right, all nine members fought in the conflict and were awarded the SAM. Eight of them fought in the conflict as members of the SAS....

WO2 rank badge??????

Hello,

This badge was part of a medal lot auction win, many years ago now, but I'm positive this is Army and, consequently, not related to the RAF medals I won.
