badge I.D.
« on: Tuesday 09 August 11 13:29 BST (UK) »
trying to identify a badge for a friend who has only idle gossip about her father.

What we have been told is that he was French born around 1920 - 25 and was supposedly in the French forieghn legion ( I thought that French nationals weren't allowed?). Unfortunately the name he was known by was almost certainly an assumed name, I know myself that he often spoke French, German and Sklav with amazing fluency - so wher he actually originated is anyones guess.

Hopefully this badge may throw some light.

Can we see the remainder of the pic? I have searched all Axis forces and Allies and can't find anything like this, it looks incomplete in some way,

Regards
JAMES

I don't think that there is anything else to help but yes I will put the rest of it on as soon as I have a chance - within the next hour or so.

Many thanks.
