WPS2018 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Hey guys! New to the forum but I was curious to see what you guys may have in terms of French medals for service in the Middle East and North Africa. I only have two medals, one for the 1956 Suez War and the other for service in Lebanon. I'm interested to see what you guys have! Whether that be mounted medal bars, singles, or identified groups Cheers! - Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendrik Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 (edited) Hello Nick and welcome to this forum ! The 1956 Suez War medal you refer to would be this one, I think : Its official name is "Médaille Commémorative Française des Opérations du Moyen-Orient" (The French Commemorative Medal for the Middle-East Operations). I'm not quite sure which is the medal for service in Lebanon that you refer to. Perhaps the Overseas Service Medal with "LIBAN" clasp ?

Hendrik Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) One of my favourites : Colonial Medal with bars, made by the firm of Robert Gaunt, London, during WW2. Edited December 30, 2015 by Hendrik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendrik Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) From the same London maker, the Commemorative Medal for Syria-Cilicia and its pre-WW2 French manufacture with the WW2 Vichy regime bar "Levant 1941" : The Medal of Honour for Epidemics, Algerian model, bronze class. This one is named to a R. Hermitte. Edited December 30, 2015 by Hendrik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
