TacHel Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Here's a question that came up with a colleague trying to replace his grand-father's set that was lost. His grand-father was a US Army officer who received the Legion of Honnor for WW2 service. The 3rd Republic was dead (de facto) in 1940 when Marshall Pétain assumed all powers, the 4th republic only came about in 1946. Question #1: did the Free French bestow the LoH between 1940 and 1946? Question #2: Since the 4th Republic only came about in 1946, were all models bestowed in 45 and 46 3rd Republic models? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
