Hi, I think the golden and the silver ones are the second and third degree. Watch this http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20040210/local/de-marco-in-talks-with-libyan-pm.130355 President Gaddafi presented Prof. de Marco with Libya's highest honour - the Medal of the Great El Fatah (First Degree). The picture shows Gaddafi putting on a breast star. Michael -
Hi there, the German wikipedia says that Queen Elisabeth II was the first and till 2006 the only female member of the Royals who did military service. Sie war das erste und bis 2006 einzige weibliche Mitglied der königlichen Familie, das Militärdienst geleistet hat. http://de.wikipedia....it.C3.A4rdienst Who was the second? I do not mean the honorary rank the female members got. Thanks Michael

Yes, I have saved all. His 1944 Lieutenant jacket, all pictures from his beginning, when he was a young captain in SHAPE (that time it was in Paris). Him with the generals Heusinger, de Maiziere, Steinhoff and some Bundeskanzlers, later Bundespräsidents and several ministers of Defence...very interesting.

Hi there, here are two pictures of my father in law. He won hie EK2 as a lieutenant on the Ostfront 1945. The picture in the little article was taken in Tokyo where he represented Germany for four years as military attaché during the 1970s. The Captain left was the commandant of the Deutschland which visited Tokyo at this time. Michael

Hi veteran, you are right, this is a 1er Class. According to the width of the chevron I thought it is a Caporal, but I compaired it with pictures in this book http://www.armourboo...291157435_6.jpg . But in my opinion these aren´t Legion insignia on the picture with his friend, these are anchors. Both regiment (3. RTT, 9. RIC)mention in the wikipedia link wear anchors in their insignia. The 3rd picture shows the collar insignia of the 168 regiment, he looks very young, so I think it was his regiment for basic training. I am still not persuited that this is French Legion.

The 5. Regiment Etrangere d´Infanterie (5. REI) was in Vietnam during WW2 and was involved into the Lang Son battle http://en.wikipedia....ng_World_War_II In general these are french medals, not especially French Foreign Legion!

Hi, thanks for the information and the pictures. Is he american? Henri Victor Jouve does not sound very english. And the collar insignia aren´t French Foreign Legion. One is the anchor of mraine Infantry and the second of the 1?? regiment. His rank was Caporal on the second picture. Michael

Hi Rob, maybe she has some more photos or some individuel information about his legion time. In case she has his pay bock or his matricule (identification number). In case she is "only" his daughter she won´t be able to say more about the uniform of her father than my wife about their father´s one Michael

Hi, my friend answered that it was often seen, he has some pictures in his collection, that the legionaires wore non french jacket. some were seen with Wehrmacht jackets in Indochine. but I am still interested in more pictures and information about this uncle. Michael

Hi, maybe he wore this tenue after his time in the legion. I do not think that this is a sergent, because you can se the green chevrons (red line) and the golden chevron (yelow line). In my opinion the golden chevron for the "chef" was added. Compare the rank insignia Chris postet, one chevron with three stripes and watch this one (blue arrow), you can see a edge. I wonder why this tenue does not have buttons. Therefore I ask a friend, he is firm in legion tenues. Another thing I wonder is the ribbon bar...three singel ribbons are unusual. Michael

Hi, yes, I know. I am registered there. I know a French officer wearing this MICECI medal. Michael

Hi Paul. Do you mean the first one, the golden? It is the WW1 victory medal http://ghilliemor.com/resources/PipSqueakWilfredCourtMounted.jpg Michael

Nevertheless it is funny, LCL Eberle once told me: nowadays they´ll get for every fart a medal. -
Hi Antonio, thanks for answering. I know the official site, but unfortunately both email adresses, info@.. and webmaster@.. , don´t work. Maybe it is only a "German" problem, but I cannot contact them. I tried weeks ago. The seller of these medal I know, too. He only offers this one and doens´t have further information. I asked him weeks ago, too. Michael

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