I sold a group to a Border Regiment casualty KiA at Arnhem a few years ago. It had his unboxed medals and an album with photos of him during the war some of his original insignia and immediate post war pictures of his wife on the Oosterbeek pilgrimage in 1946 or 47. It was bought by a collector for just under £1k. I was surprised at the price but there is a premium around Airborne Forces which will lift the desireability considerably. You need deep pockets to collect in that sphere.
