    1. Doh! I thought the rank was Brigadier. With half Colonel you can lock Taylor in Eddie. Regards Mick.
    2. Just as an aside, Badcoe actually changed his name from Badcock, for the obvious reasons. You'll find him listed in the Malaya nominal roll as P. Badcock. But, to the work at hand! Commonsense suggests the uniform and ribbons would correspond with an officer who was awarded a Military Cross for Vietnam. So let's work backwards from there. There were fifty four recipients of the military cross in Vietnam. Fourteen of these men were awarded an order of Australia and also additionally qualified for the National Medal. They were: Brian Florence Military Cross (MC), National Medal, (NM) National Medal Clasp (NMCl) and Member of the Order of Australia(MOA). I have no record of him serving in Cyprus. Ewart O'Donnell MC, NM, NMCl and MOA. Again, I have no record of him serving in Cyprus. Peter Phillips MC, NM, NMCl, Officer of the Order of Australia, (OOA) and Centenary Medal. I have no record of him serving in Cyprus. Brian Howard MC, NM, NMCl, OOA, and Emergency Services Medal. I have no record of him serving in Cyprus. John Keldie MC, NM, NMCl and OOA. I have no record of him serving in Cyprus. John Deighton MC, NM, NMCl, and MOA. He had previously served in Malaya and no 1918 GSM means you can scratch him Ian Campbell MC, NM, NMCl, and MOA. Nil by Cyprus service, to my knowledge Edward Chitham MC, NMl and MOA. No known service in Cyprus Ray De Vere MC, NMl and MOA. Again nothing known with regard to service in Cyprus Adrian D'Hage MC, NM and MOA. Nothing known with respect to Cyprus. Murray Blake MC, NM, NMCl, MOA and OOA. Cyprus unknown. Jerry Taylor MC, NM, MOA. Taylor had previous active service with the British Army in Cyprus. However he retired as a Lieutenant Colonel (McKay 'The Riflemen') That makes him the closest fit with the gongs, but the rest of the uniform doesn't tally Not at all easy and still a mystery to me. Cheers Mick
