So he was already delegated with the leadership of the 20. Panzer-Division in August 1941? That is new and very interesting! Thanks!

No One, You certainly have an amazing collection of items related to Djibouti, and a lot of knowledge. Thanks for sharing. Tracy

Your guess is as good as anyone's! As these have an image of Zog alone, some describe this badge as commemorating Zog specific events including Kingdom Proclamation. They exhibit the same style details as Zog-Geraldine Wedding pins [of which many may be seen being worn by people in wedding newsreels]. Some have a German maker's mark on the reverse, if memory serves. The same company made similar design type pins with other nation's symbols for other occasions including at least one of King Farouk's weddings.

Thank you, Dave. I was hoping for something Bavarian considering the field artillery regiment with a Bavarian Regimentschef.

Dear Gentlemen, Presentation of the insignias of the (French) Armed Forces Health Service* in Djibouti: *Service de Santé des Armées - Service de Santé des Armées de la Côte Française des Somalis / CFS Drago Paris: There is no insignia for this service when the Côte Française des Somalis became the Territoire Français des Afars et des Issas, but I have this patch: - Service de Santé des Armées Djibouti: The colors were so different that I assumed it was an unknown variation, but upon receiving it, my reaction was 'Oh décéption!'. Then the "Armed Forces Health Service in Djibouti" became the "Joint Directorate of the Health Service of the French Forces in Djibouti*: *Direction interarmées du service de santé des forces françaises à Djibouti / DIASS homologation G.3441 - Direction interarmées du service de santé des armées des FFDJ Drago Noisiel Marne-la-Vallée: - Direction interarmées du service de santé des armées des FFDJ FIA: - Direction interarmées du service de santé des armées des FFDJ Boussemart 2012: - table medal FIA: - Centre hospitalier des armées Bouffard (CHA BOUFFARD) FIA homologation G.4569: Centre hospitalier des armées Bouffard Boussemart 2012: - table medal of the Bouffard Medical-Surgical Hospital: Yours sincerely, No one

Dear Gentlemen, I have this Military Identification Tags to Fareh Issa: Until now I got only this information about him: " In the Official Journal of April 30, 1930, mention is made of Fareh Issa, sergeant, number 66, 1st Mixed Regiment of Madagascar, in the table of advancement for the year 1930 to the rank of warrant officer (adjudant in French). He was appointed to the rank of warrant officer by ministerial decision on 30 September, effective 1 October 1930. In the 1937 Official Bulletin of the Colonial Office, there is a man named Fareh Issa, warrant officer of the Senegalese Tirailleurs Regiment of the French Somali Coast, appointed to the Order of the Star of Anjuan at the rank of knight." And yesterday, I found his name here: TH_BTSomalis (free.fr) as a corporal.

Giving me that extra angle, like you did so many times before. I was looking back at this post, I got so much from you and Bayern, I wanted to click like on everything 👍 Poor guy is probably sweating under the Officers gaze. Looks like a Red Cross on the tarp/cover. It’s a good little photo. cheers tony 🍻
