Caterpillar Club
Almost worthy as a new thread.
Survivors by parachute qualify for membership of that exclusive club - "The Caterpillar Club" - and are issued with a highly prized little grub.
Spotted a WW2 RAAF Vet wearing two grubs recently at a Battle of Britain commemoration function.
Does anyone know
The origin of the club and is it still active?
Why a caterpillar?
Are there members with more than two?
Is the club worldwide?
Is a certificate of qualification issued?
How many caterpillars issued to date?
Is there a value placed on the caterpillars by medal collectors?
