Thanks, Jeff. I knew you could save us! -
Sorry, I know very little about French (or most) uniforms. I know we have some forum members with good (and personal) knowledge of the Legion. They should be able to "read" the rank badge easily.

Soviet Soviet & Eastern Block Quiz
Ed_Haynes replied to Christophe's topic in Russia: Soviet: Other Militaria
Help. Maybe I just confuse easily, but: By "missing", do you mean: 1- Things worn that aren't on the ribbon bar, worn independently. or 2- Things that ought to show op on the ribbon bar (not things worn separately from the ribbon bar) that aren't there. I think I have answers for BOTH options. No clue on the recipient and have no clue even where to start. But GREAT progress on getting a ID of everything (sorry, but that's just of more interest to me ). It is a lovely ribbon bar (I assume you have his medals, Christophe?). -
