Chris,

 

THank you for taking the time to post these fine(mind blowing) collections. The DSM in post number #125 seems to have a strange ribbon custom made for it.

 

I am blown away...

Does he even have a set after he passed. He disliked displaying his awards.

I displayed on the forum his shadow box once I will see if I can find it.

I thought that he alleged in About Face that he gave them to neighborhood kids who were playing war, when he lived in Australia.

 

Hack was sort of a showboat so who knows. I've read about others who allegedly discarded their medals but apparently did not.

This is the medal/ ribbon I would like to know what the original colors were/are? This pics could show distortion.
