    My own french medals


    Deruelle

    Recommended Posts

    Hi everybody,

    Have a look to my own medals I received during my duty. I was Mar?chal des Logis (Sergeant) in the 1st Regiment du Train ? Vincennes near Paris. I'm doing research in the Service Historique de l'Arm?e de Terre during two years; I was volunteer.

    My first unit was the 24e r?giment d'infanterie and when this unit was disolved in 1997, I was transfered in the 1st regiment du train.

    regards

    Christophe

    In the center, the plaque is a non wearable medal. I received it for all I have done during two years in the Service Historique de l'Arm?e de Terre. On the reverse we can find my grade, my name and the date of my duty. It's not usual at all.

    I'm very proud to show you my medals.

    Here the paper for the Defense National medal

    Hello Christophe,

    Yes, thanks for the pictures ! I have one question : what are the tasks or functions of a "r?giment du train" as opposed to an infantry regiment ?

    Cheers,

    Hendrik

    Hi Hendrik,

    The tasks of a Train unit are to help all the others units to realise their tasks, i.e logistic. I don't have all the clues here, so I will make some research. My job at this time is to work in a desk like a researcher. I've done this job for two years. I remember each time I want to do some military taskes, they said : "it's not your job here". That's life.

    Regards

    Christophe
