hirmiestelio Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 I am hoping that I have a Croix de Guerre and Medaille Militaire in this pile . . .but that's where I need help! Any thoughts on if these are these medals and if they are, any thoughts on eras? I took close-ups showing the different metal tips, too, in case that says something about them. Also . . . I think the Red and Green ones have two variations in the actual red/green cord. One of one type and two of the other. The red stripe is choppy where the other two the red is a continuous stripe. Do you think that means they are for two different medals or just different cord weaves? Thanks for any input! I don't know anything about these!

That makes me think of one more question to ask . . . is the cord weave different for the WWII version or was there only a version for the WWI medal? And do you think the yellow ones (or one of those) is for the Medaille Militaire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hirmiestelio Posted September 13, 2022 Author Share Posted September 13, 2022 Hi! Here are pictures of the last two that I have, and I'm hoping that these are MEdaille Militaire. There is a difference to the brass end, as one has a crown and one does not. Do you think these are for the Medaille Militaire? Thanks for any help! Really appreciate it!

hirmiestelio Posted September 15, 2022 Author Share Posted September 15, 2022 (edited) Thanks so much! So appreciate that! I'm thrilled! Is the one missing a crown on the metal end or is that just a difference of maker? Edited September 15, 2022 by hirmiestelio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aubagne98 Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Hi, the first are fourragere CdG which Americans wear. The second ones (MM) are early ones, when the endings put in a button under the shoulder rank. the "trefle" was introduced later. The crown is decoration. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate this, as I was really hoping these were French medal ones and not a US ROTC thing. Also interesting about the early button type! I wondered about the differences!
