Thanks for the GREAT pics

ps - It's probably the biscuits

Interesting.

Grumman made some great planes during WW2

Take a look at this dirtbag . . .

I saw on e-bay went for US$105.00 last Fall.

Yikes

It's been added to a list of other books I am looking for.

D'oh !

Thanks !!!

AND I am glad you mentioned the BLUE because I really thought I was seeing things !!! My eyes are bad enough as it is !

Oooooops !!!

Dumb question - In pic 4 (lower right) what are those things that look like large bookends??

Pick, Pick, Pick . . . . In Post 3, 2nd one labeled 'Free Time', lower right.

Am afflicted with CRS

Apologies

Is it for a specific aircraft type, or general.

It's a wonderful thing you've done !!

Since you have the info, look here

Absolutely Stunning photos ! ! !

I like that in pic 1 you can see where pic 2 was taken from, and visa versa. Things like that fascinate me.

Dumb question - In pic 4 (lower right) what are those things that look like large bookends??

And, by the way, while something like this ribbon is seen on the Jordanian medal, it is NOT the official one and its use cannot be documented.

That's interesting. So the Green & Blue ribbon is the official?

Thanks!

Thanks !!

I briefly touch on this badge in my book "Distinguishing Patches - Formation Patches of the Canadian Army 1916-1996".

I'll have to find that book !

A seriously strange bar indeed

I have found three similiar ribbons (that match the GCM) that are equally as farfetched as the GCM.

1) Canada - Royal Canadian Legion - Ladies Auxillary - Past Officer

2) Jordan - Medal in Memory of War 1939-45

3) Republic of Korea - Order of National Security Merit - 3rd Class (missing the taeguk device) - Cheonsu

Honestly I think it might have been made for theatrical or film.

Was on WAF a month ago, sad story but old news.

Evidently this Angolia character posts here.

I don't believe he does.

Nice find

Your collection is verrrrrry inmpressive !

Interesting

Most likely a combination of things like the US Para badges-

Time on consecutive jump status . . .12, 24, 36, 48 months

Different types of jumps . . . training, night, with combat equipment

Number of jumps would be more depending on level of badge

Jumpmaster status probably for the higher awards

Presentation is well done !

One cannot help but sorry for the guy, and his girl.

Pals Battalions what a disaster. Go to war with your mates, and almost everybody dies ! I can see their logic, but they didn't think it through.

Good question !

Here are Zodiac signs

Some are close.

Found it!

Canadian Force Mobile Command

Perhaps a court ordered round of speaking engagements at VFW halls

Sounds good to me

Here's one from 1915 or 1916

And one from 1934

I received this as an extra goodie with a couple of SSI's today.

Having no reliable Canadian Patch idenfication available I am counting on GMIC.

I believe it's Army, but my knowledge ends tthere.

In advance Thanks !

Over the years, however, he ?promoted? himself up to lieutenant colonel to help him win lucrative security consulting contracts

I think he can kiss these goodbye

I doubt very much if he'll serve the full year, four months at most.

At least it's a start.

Dang . . . you beat me to it!

Love the Brunswick device

You don't see too many on medal bars.

Smashing bar
