I am not trying to be a smart a@@ here, but just for future reference those jackets are known as a battledress blouse.
Not to be a smart a$$ either, but isn't it considered appropriate to remove insignia from such a thing unless you have earned same? Probably a bigger deal if you were in the country of origin. I have a set of wings in a drawer that came off my jacket before I wore it out.

I think we do things a bit differently here in the UK with military badges than for you chaps in America. So I am not for one second criticising Ron. I and, I think most other people in the UK would never dream of wearing military badges that we had not earned ourselves, even if they had belonged to a close relative. These days though, we do see more often, medals worn on the right breast to honour a departed loved one at the Armistice Parade, for example.
