I love these kind of pictures! Fall of '39 and all three still wearing cross-straps. All 3 are SCW vets, but haven't had their SCW ribbons added to their ribbon bars yet.

That is a great photo, jacques.

Any chance of a closeup of their flight badges?

Outstanding photos especially the "A well decorated officer." I bet his jacket was real heavy.

Ack, your post #9, exactly how old is Sean Penn.

Sorry, the resemblance is amazing.

Some great pictures you have Jacques. I have a question about your latest one with the NCO wearing the medal bar. It looks like the white (non-combatant) military service cross on the bar but the Spanish Cross sure looks like it has swords.

I would have thought with the white service cross he would have had the silver cross without swords, am I right or wrong??

Thanks, Alan

Hi

I already observed that on others pictures. It seems that there is no relation between white cross and spanish cross w/o sword attribution. I don't know pictures showing white cross with spanish cross w/o swords.

I've at the moment no logical explaination.

This one is wearing the "Hermann G?ring" collar patches. I think for the Flack with white with a red piping.

Jaques,

Those LW admin photos are awesome. I am especially impressed by the Lower Grade NCO photo!! I have not ever seen one of those in a photo before!! Most of these men did not have uniforms.
