Croix de Guerre with

[ccj]

I recently started searching photographs in an attempt to see if I could find photos of the Croix de Guerre being worn with the palms overlapping on the ribbon. I think this was done on occasion by those either not wanting a long ribbon or those who had a very large amount of palms.

Here are a few. I didn't think to save examples of all.

Here's another of Charles Nungesser wearing a large number of Palms overlapping on the ribbon.

Here's a CdG with 8 palms I've had for years. It's similarly arranged with the palms overlapping.

well, here's an example like mine. It's more worn for sure.
