The shoulder slide looks like a Cpl, and the CCH chevron was added later.

Hi there, I wonder about the shirt and the tie. Why doesn´t he wear a regiment breast badge? Why does he wear a CdG ribbon, when he was in Indo in the 50s? Do you have other pictures of your uncle? Or some more information? Michael

Hello, I am searching for information about the medals of the ECOWAS (Economic Community Of West African States) Is there anywhere in the net a site which shows all medals? Michael

The gala jackets of Heer and LW are the same. This list shows two Luftwaffe Generaloberstabsarzt. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inspekteur_des_Sanit%C3%A4tsdienstes Michael

Hi Chris, the wine which is soled in the IILE http://www.legion-etrangere.com/modules/info_seul.php?id=97 and in the foyers of the regiments, also the legion ceramic souveniers (see picture http://iile.legion-etrangere.com/modules/info_seul.php?id=5&page=1) which are made and painted by the anciens, are to support the Instutitue. Michael

If it is what I thnk it is, than it is a collar insignia of the Carabinieri. It is about 1x3 inch. watch this http://93-63-251-100.ip30.fastwebnet.it/ntmi/images/2010/NTM-I%20114th%20Police%20Graduation%20Art%2041/JPEG/003.jpg

In the first I thought of italian police.

The next is from a legionnaire actif, meanwhile Caporal, who finished a six month trip with the 2. REI in Senegal last year.

Here anther interesting peace. A Captain´s kepi of the 1. REC, a former legionnaire, who became officer. Watch the chevrons, you can see, that this kepi was a former 1st Lt. and was upgrated to a captain. The lowest chevron is brighter silver and the right vertical, too. Between the lowest and the middle silver chevron you can recognize a red string.

Hi Paul, these belong to the Legion arm insignia http://images-01.delcampe-static.net/img_large/auction/000/145/691/630_002.jpg?v=1

Thanks. Lieutenant Colonel Hans Eberle wa a German who served 37 years in the Legion, started with the rank of Legionnaire. The legionnaires know him as "Mein Gott" Here is another. Each small line under the rank chevrons means five years service.

And you can find him twice in this book http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61MHKXVBRDL._SL500_AA300_.jpg most people only know the picture of him as Cne. in Castelnaudary.

f... I still cannot handle showing pictures :banger:

Hi there, here is one photo of my collection by legion insignia which were worn by LCL Hans Eberle. The picture of him was made by me during a five-day-visit at his home near Nimes in 2007. You can find it several times used in the internet.

well, next try.

here is the picture.

Hi Chris, the extra chevrons of the musicians are as wide as the rank chevrons and the design is another. It looks more than the aspirant cords.

Well, maybe the French want to show the difference between Croid de guerre and others. The fourragere CVM also hasn´t fourrageres MM and LH with olives. it has olives in the coulours of MM and LH and combined.

Hi, today I have found a picture of this new fourragere. http://symbmilgend.over-blog.com/article-une-nouveaute-et-c-est-pas-tous-les-jours-92469825.html Michael

Hi ralstona, I just contacted this evening a friend, he is caporal and regiment photographer of the 4. REI in Castelnaudary. Maybe he will find a answer. Michael

Hello, watch this http://www.farac.org/php/article.php3?id_article=184 La fourragère à titre individuel. Encore une question mal connue. Par la circulaire du 22 Février 1918, tout combattant ayant participé aux faits de guerre, visés dans les citations ayant provoqué l’attribution de la fourragère à leur unité, pourra la conserver, à titre individuel, même après son affectation à un autre corps ne l’ayant pas. Ce droit fait l’objet d’une attestation du chef de corps. Généralement lorsqu’un corps a été cité à l’ordre de l’armée, chaque combattant reçoit la copie de la citation avec au bas la mention de son nom, de sa présence au corps et de la signature de son chef de corps. La fourragère portera alors sur un coulant placé au-dessus du ferret ou de l’olive, suivant la nature de la fourragère, le numéro en métal de l’unité ou de la formation d’origine. A défaut de numéro, l’insigne régimentaire ou de la formation sera épinglé au-dessus du ferret. C’est cette décision qui pourrait expliquer les fourragères "modèle réduit" de la croix de guerre 1914-1918 figurant sur le ruban de certaines croix de guerre de cette époque et qui auraient indiqué que le titulaire, en plus de sa citation personnelle, était présent au régiment lors des faits de guerre qui avaient fait attribuer à ce dernier la fourragère verte et rouge. I hope you can translate it into English Bernhard, thanks for the information.
