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).

You are welcome to use anything that I post here, or which is on my Medals of the World website. A link to my website will suffice as acknowledgement of source.

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!
