For the longest time I tried to track down a WW1 Machine Gun Corps cap badge as worn by my great uncle who died of his wounds just after the end of the war in a military hospital in Aberdeen. My greatest achievement, in family history terms, has been getting his name inscribed in the books of the fallen at the Scottish War Memorial chapel in Edinburgh Castle, 90 years after he died!

After much thought, though it would be a fitting tribute, I've decided against getting one as I feel I'd be stepping on the graves of those who fought and died wearing it.

Still, if you want to wear a badge or kilt in honour of a family member, I'd have no problem. I think it's just a personal decision.
