Is this close?

[Nack]

As a major, would he have definitely have gone to a more advanced academy?

Or is the one he has reasonable?

Also, what do I call this? A collection, an impression, a hodge, podge? It is not a named group, or any kind or related group. As I said before, I don't want to misrepresent what it is.

I always thought that the badge for advanced officers (the white badge) was for col and above? I have always had a hard time getting info on what badges go where.

I'd call the set-up a display :thumbsup It's virtually impossible to get a group of medals and uniforms from a single person, so no one will label you a fraud.
