    Well, I was always horrified at how cheap and ugly the medals were...

    look at post 69 here...

    I got the diploma today at long last... what a disappointment....

    I guess it has to do with the computer age.... they are not printed by a professional then filled out... but the whole thing is done on an A4 sheet, printed on a computer then signed and stamped.... basically a computer print out... :-(

    I didn't know you were an ancient corporal.

    All the best,

    (regardless of the bottle so it was drunkenness) :cheers:

    Congrats for having this medal, the general commanding the Foreign Legion confirmed the attribution to you. That is to say you really deserved it.

    Indeed... but there are also some really nice colorful ones. I saw a RIMA or RPIMA one done at Regimental level... it looked really nice.

    The soldier in me does not mind the bottle... the collector does ;-)
