Hello, I am searching for photos of pages of pay books from French soldier who earned the Croix de Guerre 1914-1918 and has an insciption of the citation in the book. And I want to use these photos for a little article in our collector´s club magazin. Does anybody have such photos? Thanks. Michael

Hi Lukasz, acoording to wikipedia http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bl%C3%BCcher-Orden it was never arwarded. "Der Blücher-Orden wurde nie verliehen, da die DDR nie aktiv an Kriegshandlungen teilnahm." The Blücher-Orden never was awarded, because the DDR never took part activ in war" Michael

The RICM has the same fourragères, but two more palm on its cravatte WW1 - WW2 - Indochine (TOE) 3. REI: 9 - 3 - 4 = 16 palms RICM: 10 - 2 - 5 - and 1 more on the TOE for Libanon 1978, but because this wasn´t the same conflict, this 6th palm did not count for the fourragère LH mit olive TOE = 18 palms There are three Legion regiments who received the fourragere CVM: 2. REP, 2. REG, 1. REC The 2. REP also has the palm on their Kolwezi cross

During the french Indochine war the regiment earned the fourragère of the CdG TOE (Théâtres d'opérations extérieurs) for two and the fourragère MM with olive TOE (this olive is not divided) for four palms. I hope s.o.is interested in and I could unravel the fourragère question Michael

For the 2nd of its three palms the regiment was awarded with the fourragère CdG 1939. It is the same like the WW1, but to differentiate both the WW2 has an olive (red with green). If a regiment earned the fourragères of both WW, the WW1 was shown throug a olive (green with red) , too. Both olives are worn on the highe of both fourragères. To show MM and LH fourrageres there were a system of several olives. CdG half-half CdG and MM for fourragère MM half-half CdG and LH for fourragère LH half-half CdG and LH with white disc for fourragère double LH+CdG

Hi, in november 1915 the RICM (Régiment de marche de la Légion Étrangère, later named 3. RE, 3. REI, 3. REIM and again RMLE. since 1945 3. REI) was instituted. After the regiment was awarded the second palm to the croid de guerre it received the fourragère in the colors of the ribbon of the CdG (Croix de guerre, green with red) in June 1916. For the 4th palm it received the fourragère Medaille Militaire (MM) in July 1917 and in september 19717 the fourragère Legion d´honneur (LH) for the 6th palm. For the 9th palm the regiment received the fourragère double, LH+CdG+extra cord.

Hi Chris, Marcel Haegelen got the MM with his 4th and the LH with his 7th citation. http://albindenis.free.fr/Site_escadrille/escadrille100.htm Michael

Hi Bison, Thanks for that information! Michael

Hi there, before WW1 the LH and the MM was given to the miltaires who had shown bravery in combat, because there was no Croix de guerre. Was it at this time equal to today that the MM only was givtn to militaires du rang and NCOs? And the LH only to officers? Michael

Hi Gordon, the breats badge shows the Hamburg (white on red) castle. Maybe this helps to identify. Michael

In the years 1956, 60 and 64 both German stastes built one official team.
