Nice for a laugh. They have "all seen their share of battle," as he states. The Royal Irish Reg hat badge is missing its crown, more than likely shot off by the "Red Barron" himself. 👀

Am particularly impressed that all of the "Battle worn" badges showing their slider have them drilled - maybe it was to screw them onto their tin hats.....

$355,000 won't buy an Aussie VC, certainly not today.
