    All I can read is "1991." :rolleyes:

    Are these press release publicity photos, or private presentation pix from an inspection/visit?

    Saddam Visiting a city some where in Iraq: Baghdad

    Who do you think the men with all the Batons are? They are pushing the crowd back as Saddam visits the city. I bet that there was a lot of snipers on the roofs of the building tops as he passed.

    Famous Photo of Saddam: He demands the Iraqi Commanders to take back double the land the Iranians took during the Iraq Iran War. It motivated the Iraqi troops and they took back double what the Iranians took. Being an Iraqi Army Military Commander, you knew that there had to of been consequences if you failed and returned back home to Iraq.

    Saddam Hussien's Medals on display in South Africa

    Collected by a retired South African colonel, William Endley, the medals comprise sashes, badges and orders.

    The display include medals such as the 'Mother of All Battles', which he was awarded after the Iraq-Kuwait war. Saddam's medal for crushing the Kurdish rebellion was also put on display in South Africa.

    Saddam was known to have had 19 palaces prior to the 1991 Gulf War and at least 25 additional palaces were built or partially completed in the decade that followed," notes a museum display. That is why alot of his ODM is turning up.

    He had earned the first 4 medals while a soldier. He was also awarded the rare
    Wisam
    al-Jadara - Order of Merit
    -
    awarded to only three or four Iraqi rulers.

    Those are some very significant photos there. :jumping::jumping::jumping: Are they all "originals"? I really like the one where he is posed with Oday.

    Paul

    That one looks like a family member or friend took it, as they prepare for the real photograph to be taken. As you see Mr. Jan is setting up his equipment. I paid $50.00 for it I don't realy know if it is a copy or original. The parper it is printed on is very old, I am still proud to have it in my collection of Iraqi Militaria.

    That is interesting that they wore actual repeat awards versus using a repetition device(such as a star). Is it me or does it seem that every member in the Iraqi military wore a mustache! :hitler:
