Looking For Info On The Sergeant Major Insignia

[Danjanou]

Also is there a posting somewhere about what medals of bravery were for, because i and getting his medals from the war and would like to know what each stands for

This may help, the Second World War ribbons are on the second page. Once you can identify the medals then we can maybe narrow down where he served and then possible what RCE Squadron he served with.

It is an extremely detailed piece of art, so as a tattoo, it would need to be very large. As for the medals, if you just take a picture and post them here, I'm sure we can tell you what they all are.
