Hi all, say, I have the 1st Edition of John R. Angolia Book (Dealing with the military awards of the TR), which is a great work IMO, Anyway, I was wondering what the difference is between the 1st edition and the revised edition? Is it worth getting the revised edition? Thanks so much! Greg

That's it!

Hi, the present day. Thanks again! Greg

Hi all, I've seen a number of French soldiers wearing above their ribbon bars, a badge that's a Wreath with Crossed Bayonets. Can someone tell me what the badge is and it's requirements for award? Don't have a picture, sorry! Thanks so much! Greg

Hi all, I was wondering if this Order was ever worn as a neck decoration only without the Star or Sash, like the PLM? Thanks so much!!!! Greg

Hi all, my knowledge on this subject is lacking and I was wondering if someone can tell me what appurtenances (Palms, Crossed swords etc) were worn on the ribbon of the various Belgium Orders (Leopold, Leopold II, Crown Orders). Also what these devices mean. Thanks so much! Greg

Hi all, don't post much, but do cruse this forum, great info and lots of fun. Anyway, just for he heck of it, what are some of the Ebay funnies you've come across? Here's one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/AUTHENTIC-GERMAN-IRON-CROSS-MEDAL-WWII-RARE-EXCELLENT-CONDITION-/171360477430?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27e5e160f6 Take Care! Greg

Thanks Dave!! Do you have the breakdown for the rank/class criteria? Thanks again!!! Greg

Hi all, I'm sure this has been covered before, if so please bear with me. Anyway, my question is, what was the criteria for this award (to include the crown device) and was this award given according to the individuals rank? Was this also a progressive award like the EK? Thanks so very much! Greg

Hi, hope this is the correct forum! Anyway, I was wondering were the Diamond grade War Badges (U- Boat, S-Boat, etc) fall into play with regards to order of precedence. Do these badges "outrank" say the German Cross (in Gold), Roll of Honor Clasps of even the Knights Cross? I know that they are worn above the EKI, but what about other decortaions? I guess, just were do they "fit in"? Thanks so much!!!! Greg

Hi all, as a Retired member of the US Army, I have no time for these people what so ever!!! I've known a few like him (not as bad) in my 23 years in the army and they should get the max fine/sentence IMHO. Take care! Greg

Very nice workmanship, but a bit out of may range! Greg
