Similar here INW .... I had a call this week from the OPSO of the regiment of my first posting. He & I were new subalterns together. "Mate I have your commissioning scroll here, it's framed and it's a bit dusty - found it in a cupboard. It's dated 2010".
Which makes three of the silly things. One that arrived a couple of years after I was commissioned; a second given to me when I was promoted to CAPT; and the one discovered this week. All three signed by a mix of three different MINDEFs and two GGs ... none of whom were the MINDEF or GG at the time of my commissioning!
