    David,
    I can see your point exactly, and as someone who respects and honors everyone and anyone who has ever served our country,I would not ever want to do soemthing to DIShonor them. The only reason I was thinking of this is mainly because the insignia is no longer valid today, as opposed to the EGA which has been virtualy unchanged (I believe) since its conception. Same way with the medals, they are not "Valor" medals which I would never wear regardless, and are more historical wit ha family connection, however, I had thought about the miniatures versus the full sized as they would be a little more understated. Maybe instead of on the epaulettes, I amy just have one cast and wear as a lapel badge, or perhaps as a kilt pin as mentioned before.
    Cheers everyone!
    Chad

    I think that the kilt pin idea is fantastic. It honours them and being a kilted regiment in WWI the kilt pin would be an ideal symbol of respect and remebrance.
    Lest we forget

    If you're going to shrink it, what about a pair of cufflinks?

    At any moment you must be prepared to give up who you are today for who you could become tomorrow.

    Or as the centre for a clan belt buckle. Those clan crests are easy to pop out of the generic buckle.
