Jacques Posted December 20, 2006 Author Share Posted December 20, 2006 the document for "medalla de la campana" is lacking. There is no LC Panzer badge, but may be he didn't stay in Spain enough long to entitle the badge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerd Becker Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Awesome group!!! And well documented too Absolutely fantastic, Jacques.I wonder, why Soldiers, who died, did not get a higher class than the Bronze Award? Or did it depend on the circumstances (i.e. death in battle, death by accident like this one... and so forth...)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
