Great? Grandfather

ShyTorque
I recently had my Grandfather's WWII Royal Engineer medals mounted and framed (with photos) as a Xmas Pressie for my Dad (aged 65) - How to make an old man cry!

The similarity was what stoked me to post.
My Granddad's medals were 3.5 out of 5 identical to those pictured. (My Granddad's Africa Star had a 1st Army clasp and an Italy Star instead of an F&G Star as pictured.)


As I type...
Sorry for questioning your use of "Great"
Len (1919-1976) was my Dad's Dad, my paternal Granddad and if he'd have lived a fortnight longer, also my brothers', but thinking about it, he would also have been Great Granddad to my niece, and Great Great Granddad to my brother's 2 step-grandchildren. (Yes, my little Bro is a Granddad!)
I recently attended the funeral of my maternal Grandma, who was Great Great Grandma of my brother's 2 step-grandchildren.
