Being a Sapper, I would have thought a GviR Royal Engineers cap badge would have been appropriate to add to this superb display.

I dont know the background to the post but I assumed he is family, regardless the display is a very fitting tribute to him, you should rightly be very proud of what you've achieved.

One of the best mountings I've seen Quinn,

Very well done, a real credit to you. And it was a pleasure to play just a small part.

Cheerio,
Roy

Great display, but as a private soldier in the Parachute Regiment (or in the Kings Own Royal Regiment) he would be a Private, as Sapper is the private soldier rank in the Royal Engineers only....

Looks like I made a mistake. But the displays been made and at just under $3000
Aussie dollars it’s a bit to change it but I’m happy . So thanks anyway
