The 2002 english language version by Helion and Company is ISBN: 1874622701. Translated by C.F. Colton, MA. No mention of Duncan Rogers though. If you have patience they come up on Ebay once in a while. Got mine for around $30.00

GSDF meaning Ground Self Defense Forces Out of my area but interesting nonetheless Left - Northern Army Right - 11th Division of the Northern Army The colors on the top indicate the arm of service (Infantry, Arty . . .) but I'm not sure. References are few and far between.

Modern Ribbons and medals
David S replied to a topic in Great Britain: Orders, Gallantry, Campaign Medals
Here's a good site http://www.medals.lava.pl/bc/uk1.htm -
Not much . . . The badge in post #2 is from the Forces at Hoa Hao, the 2e Commando was posted at Hoa Hao, but their badges are different. Hoa Hao is in the Tan Chau district which is WNW of Hanoi. Not far at all from Dien Bien Phu. A good reference is French Airborne Troops Wings and Insignia by Jacques Baltzer and Eric Micheletti It covers only Airborne and such but is worth the price.

A good legitimate group. The National Defense Service Medal was authorized on 22 April 1953 for the period 1950 to 1954 - The Korean Conflict. -
Temporary promotions happened in WW1 as well. Captain in 1917, and by the end of the war a Colonel. In 1920 reverted back to Captain, a month later (or less) promotion to Major and promoted to Lieutenant Colonel 15 or so years later. Ii happened to Patton, Eisenhower, Bradley and others.

Nice bar From the 1897 Centenary to the Hindenburg Cross, with stops including the Prussian War Service and Red Cross, not to leave out the Bavarians.
