Michael Thank you. Adrian

I have just tried the following link that I have for French Army Service Records https://www.culture.fr/Genealogie/Grand-Memorial/Qu-est-ce-qu-un-registre-matricule-militaire & it would look like it has now been discontinued. Could any memeber advise what the new link is if their is one? Thanks. Adrian

Can any forum members advise on how to locate the service record of an Italian soldier who served in Ethiopia & Spain, probably also WW2. Thanks in advance. Adrian

Graf Thank you Adrian

Just thought I would share a recent purchase with the forum for interest. Just one question are Italian Soldiers Service Papers available? Thank for looking. Adrian

HELP Does any member have a copy of this book? I am interested in the Regimental History of the 4th carabiniers contained therein. Thank you.

Stuka f Thank you. Adrian

Stuka f Thanks. Looks like I will have to find other ways of putting his military career together. Adrian

I would appreciate it if any of our Belgian members could help with the following. How easy is it to obtain copies personnel files from the Musée royal de l'Armée et d'Histoire Militaire? I have looked at their web page however the copy costs if I have interpreted them correctly are high? Officer in question Capitaine - Edgard Emile Telesphore Rene Lefevre. Thank you

Can any member advise how to access the online JMO's for French Regiments in WW1? Thanks for looking. PLEASE IGNORE ---MODS PLEASE DELETE Adrian

Chris Thanks to your input now know the 4th RZ service in Morocco - https://www.les-tirailleurs.fr/unites/4-rz Adrian

Chris Thank you. I have only just started collected verifiable French medals & therefore a novice to the workings of the French Army. I am learning a considerable amount thanks to responses like yours & the forum. Look forward to hearing from you. Adrian

Chris Thank you. Now I am really confused. I need to go through everything again!!! Could you tell me were you got the information on the 7th Battalion? Thanks Arian

Further to my research into Colonel MARCEL VICTOR LABORDE I am looking to confirm his clasps to the Colonial Medal. He was awarded three, two confirmed ALGERIE & MAROC confirmed on service record. The third is I believe either MAROC 1925 or MAROC 1925-1926 for service with the 9th Zouaves Rif War. Attached is a photograph of his Colonial Medal. Would any members have any information that would confirm the third clasp & which one would most likely be the oriental type? Probably impossible!!!! Thanks for looking. Adrian

Chris MARCEL VICTOR LABORDE 3rd Battalion 4th Zouaves - See attached images from his service record.
