thanks for the info on the formation sign badjez - once we knew what it was, and after talking to people at the Burma Star Association, we realised it came to my wife with the medals of her uncle who served in the Border Regiment, was awarded the Burma Star, so must have been a member of the 9th Bn The Border Regt, which was part of one of the brigades of the 19th Indian Div in Burma, so we offered it to the Burma Star Association, they have very few members left and have given all their memorabilia away, so we will keep it with her uncles medals to leave for our kids
