Marco Gollino Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Hi guys,Can you help me identify the stuff in the picture? I think I've managed to identify all but the last medal on the ribbon bar (which is proving highly frustrating!)1:From what I've read, the badge is that of the 6th Light Armoured Division, and the epaulettes are those of a Lt.-Col. ?Any idea how I would go about researching it?Thanks in advance,Marco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Boonzaier Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Hi,last ribbon is not French, hopefully one of our members will be able to figure it out.&th light armoured is a Major part of the Rapid Action force. There are a few Legion regiments in it.A nice little group! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Gollino Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share Posted August 12, 2008 Hi Chris,No wonder I couldn't identify that last ribbon!Are there any websites/resources with rolls or citations or anything like that? How would I go about researching him?Thanks,Marco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendrik Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Hello Marco,The ribbon colours on the last ribbon correspond with the Order of Mono (knight class) from Togo ...Best regards,Hendrik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Gollino Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share Posted August 12, 2008 Hi Hendrik,Thanks very much, it was driving me crazy!! What are my chances of finding info on this guy, or a photo ?Thanks,Marco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Are you 100% sure they all belong together?I could ask on a Legion forum, but need to know it was really the tag that belongs to the set.BestChris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Gollino Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share Posted August 12, 2008 (edited) Hi Chris,It was all in one packet and the story behind it is that it all belonged to one guy, so I'm as sure as I can be based on that.The guy who sold it to the shop (where I bought it) said he picked it up from the man himself, so I am trying to follow that lead too and see if I can get his contact details and maybe those of the recipient. No luck as of yet though but keeping fingers crossed.Is it a french style name tag ? Or does it look iffy? If you can ask on a legion forum I would appreciate it alot.Thanks. Cheers,Marco Edited August 12, 2008 by Marco Gollino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Its the standard French tag.Will see what I can do.BestChris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
