It’s got damn all to do with ‘donkey jackets’. If people are no longer in the Services then they are quite at liberty to refrain from bringing out their awards if they have no wish to do so. My Grandfather gave me his Pip, Squeek and Wilfred to play with as a child, he never wore them - to me he was a hero having been gassed on the Somme but he put it behind him. I treasure his memory and wear a poppy in his honour but that’s it.
