Paul L Murphy Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 This is one of my latest finds while wandering the Parisien flea markets last weekend. On the reverse it has written "Votre Ami, Claude". I am presuming Claude is the ANZAC in the photo wearing the Military Medal. Can anyone help to identify him ?

leigh kitchen Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Looks like you may get the battalion from the shoulder patch, which may lead to the rest of Claudes name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger-pie Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 To echo what Leigh said, if you can get a scan of the patch, or give a description, we may be able to narrow it down. I suspect an MG battalion judging from the patch shape.Regards,Johnsy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul L Murphy Posted April 27, 2008 Author Share Posted April 27, 2008 The unit badge is a two coloured diamond, the upper half being paler than the lower half. I would have thought that there were a limited number of Claude's in the ANZAC forces who were awarded the Military Medal, how many are in the roll ?

I would have thought that there were a limited number of Claude's in the ANZAC forces who were awarded the Military Medal, how many are in the roll ?Ah, well I didn't notice the upper section, I thought that I was looking at a triangular badge. I can at least narrow it down for you slightly, see link below.Regards,Johnsyhttp://www.diggerhistory.info/pages-badges...ches/inf.htm#16Edit: There are no Claude's on the Nominal Roll, so I am assuming that is his first name. I put in a search at these three links. Guess you will have to do it the hard way, and get a copy of the MM's awarded.http://www.awm.gov.au/honours/awm28/index.asphttp://www.awm.gov.au/nominalrolls/ww1/emb...ion/results.asphttp://www.awm.gov.au/nominalrolls/ww1/pag...;Surname=claude Edited April 28, 2008 by Tiger-pie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Johnson Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I thought the Military Medal was named Claude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
