ItemCo16527 Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 (edited) Hi, guys. I just got this beautiful French ribbon bar which consists of the Grand Officer of the Legion of Honor, the Croix de Guerre 1939-45 w/ 6 palms, the Croix de Guerre TOE w/ 3 palms, and the Croix de la Valeur Militaire w/ 2 palms. This officer received a total of 11 bronze palms between WWII and Indochina! I may be wrong, but I'm guessing this belonged to a General or Admiral based on the award of the Grand Officer of the Legion of Honor. Does anyone think the owner of this ribbon bar could be identified based on these awards? I know it's probably a really long shot, but I'd love to find out who wore these. Thanks for looking!

ItemCo16527 Posted May 16, 2023 Author Share Posted May 16, 2023 Just received a second ribbon bar to the same officer. This one, however, has the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ItemCo16527 Posted July 7 Author Share Posted July 7 I forgot to post this, but I managed to get the third and final ribbon bar that belonged to the same officer. This bar also has the ribbon for the Grand Officer of the Legion of Honor, so now I have 2 with the Grand Officer ribbon and 1 with the Grand Cross. I'm very happy I could keep them all together. I've also included a picture of my small French display. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
