Hello Mark, welcome to the forum and I hope you enjoy it here.

Great to hear from someone who has also has a connection with 3bn. Nice to see your grandfather's medals, must be very proud of him. Do you have any photos of him you could put up? I am always keen to see squad photos too.

Do you know much about your grandfather's service, about when he joined etc.?
Would be great if you could share some stories you may have.

Just out of curiosity, the ribbons seem to have gotten a little muddled over the years, but what is the one on the 39-45 Star? Ministry of Defence | Defence For... | Veterans | Medals | War Medal

Regards,
Diane
