Christophe Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Hi Megan,The one you are showing here is not the 1953 version, but the 1981 one.See my thread, here :http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=11023The 1953 version corresponding to the 1939-1945 period can be seen here, in Hendrik's site :http://users.skynet.be/hendrik/eng/F-Campaign.htmlCheers.Ch.

Megan Posted May 6, 2007 Author Share Posted May 6, 2007 (edited) Thanks Christophe. Looking at Hendrik's and the one above even I can see the difference (especially on the reverse!).I'll drop Hendrik a line and see if he'll send me a copy of the pictures of the 1953 version.Next time I visit Paris I shall have to buy you a beer.

Megan Posted May 6, 2007 Author Share Posted May 6, 2007 It's usually every couple of years... but the rest of the family pulled a fast one and went last summer while I was away on a course!But now I have had the pleasure of 'meeting' you here, I shall make sure to let you know when we are next coming over and see if we can meet up. Your English seems excellent, but husband and I are both able to speak French so we should get on fine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
