Default Tribute Frame

As many of you know I volunteer for the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. I look after 74 war graves across 20 sites - and like most volunteers, I take a proprietorial interest in "my" graves. I wanted to do something that commemorated my particular group and so started to collect OCA lapel badges to the units of "my" 74 servicemen. In all 30 badges would represent all of the units that the 74 served in. I also added my own CWGC volunteer badge to give the frame some context - and on the rear of the frame I'll explain the concept so that future generations understand why these OCA badges are together. I think the framer did a good job ( even the wife likes it!)
