Need a help: British awards in period of BoB.

[Fltlt_HardBall]

There's one other award that hasn't been mentioned, although it was unofficial.

RAF pilots who successfully baled out of an aircraft would become members of the "Caterpillar Club". A pin was awarded to the pilots by The Irvin Air Chute company- a gold caterpillar with ruby eyes. (This is because the parachutes were made from silk produced by silk worms - i.e. caterpillars). Later in the war, after much protest from the many pilots who received such pins, the RAF reluctantly agreed that pilots would be able to wear these pins on their uniform - under their jacket lapels!

This might be a fun unofficial award to include in a campaign. What do you think?
