I only collect information not 'things'... so no. Collectors are kind enough to give me pictures for the website, though. -

Non Commercial Use of Images
Megan replied to Wilco's topic in Germany: Third Reich: Research, Documentation & Photographs
Yes, I do recall your asking... and there are a couple of my images on your site. Must put a link to it from my General Links list (perhaps country specific ones once you have a bit more substance to the different sections). -

UK bans soldiers ....
Megan replied to Chris Boonzaier's topic in Great Britain: Research, Documentation & History
Well, I expect that the commanding officer of HMS Cornwall will also have some difficult questions to answer before he starts looking for a new career. But however poorly trained, even those shameful muppets will have heard of 'Name, Rank, Number, Date of Birth.' -

The only place they should be telling their stories is in front of a Court Martial! But hopefully they will be given dishonourable discharges soon, and so at least if they have sold their stories they will have something to live on. -

The Insigne des Bless?s Militaires was created by a law passed 11 December 1916, laying down that an enamelled red star should be worn on the planned M?daille comm?morative de la Guerre 1914-1918 (only of course they didn't know what the dates would be at that time!). So the star was pinned on to a special piece of ribbon, the size of a conventional 'undress' ribbon bar. The Insigne des Bless?s Civils was created by a law of 18 July 1918 (as Hendrik says), for civilian victims of warfare. It was a white enamelled star, also worn on a piece of ribbon, of a different pattern from the military version. The medals marketed and worn for both these awards are unofficial, but as they exist they need to be recorded!
