    Dear Gentlemen,

     

    I forgot the name: "Resist US, help North Korea Commemoration".

     

    "抗美援朝 / Kàng Měi Yuán Cháo / Resist US, help North Korea" was a 1950s slogan.

    Dear Gentlemen,

     

    The "Ordre des Palmes académiques" was established by decree No. 35.1323 on October 4, 1955 and came into force on July 14, 1956.

     

    Before 1955, it's "Officier de l'Instruction Publique" when the ribbon is without a rosette, and "Officier d'Université ou Officier d'Académie" when the ribbon is with a rosette.

     

    Since 1955, the badge has been composed of two identical branches, mostly laurel (the olives have disappeared).

     

    In this case, I think, it's "Officier d'Université ou Officier d'Académie":

    A diplome of an "Officier de l'Instruction Publique" (1933) :

    Dear Bruce,

     

    "Do you know the significance of the lion, shovel, and pick?"

    No, I don't. I am intrigued by this lion's head.

     

    " Was the unit an engineer group?"

    The only document I could find is this one:
