Chris Boonzaier Posted February 12, 2009 Author Share Posted February 12, 2009 The CdG does not belong to the document, maybe even the frame does not....The seller wrote "From the 9th Regt de March of the Algerian Rifle regiment"Which sounded good for me... so i bid and won it....My Joy! He was attached to the 9th Alg. Rifle Regt.... but as part of Group X, Artillerie d'Assault.The citation reads "Excellent gunner, brave, energetic, cool under fire. Was of great service to the crew of his tank when they were pulling back after a combat mission he engaged and kept a German Anti Tank gun occupied"Really nice WW1 citation :-))) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKeating Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 (edited) Wonderful! Just as a point of interest, here's the same type of document. There are so many variations that it is actually quite rare to see two documents from the same printing plates together!PK Edited February 13, 2009 by PKeating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
