An older co-worker of mine was a member of "The Big Red 1". He was a tank guy but I forgot what role he played in the tank. He was part of a wave that went over on D-Day but when he crossed in, the main fighting was over.
He knew I was interested in war and battles and such so he gave me the "Big Red 1" patch from his old uniform and what looks like a type of medal or badge of some sort. I have no idea what it is. It reads "Virtus Nobili Tat" accross the top. Here's a scan of them. Maybe one of you can recognise what it is.
