I shall certainly give it a go.
The Poles set up an ex-pat community here at the end of WWII, complete with an ex-servicemen and women's association (in fact there are pockets of quite large Polish communities all round the country, mostly in the vicinity of former air bases and barracks. In the 70s I worked on a project in Hereford with a Maria-Helena Sapieha - a very anglicised offspring of one such (quite distinguished) family). They have a large and flourishing community centre in Hammersmith, not far from me, which has become the hub of a very large Polish population since the end of the post-war system.
Of course, they may already have plenty of examples of that particular division and campaign ribbons (I kept the BD blouses too out of an ex-serviceman's sentimental solidarity).
I'll get round to talking to the Imperial War Museum, too, at some point.
