Peter THOMAS Pillar of the Community Australia 2830 Posts	Posted 12/09/2007 6:34 pm G'day, very interesting. Never seen one quite like this before. The soldier's helmet looks more like the French pattern than a British or American helmet. I can't make out what the soldier is holding in his right hand. The device ia the top, above the soldier, reminds me a lot of the Croix de Guerre, a medal awarded for bravery. Peter in Oz Report this Post to the Staff

Thanks for the translation CCP. Love this place. Any more detailed info, what mint? Thanks for all the help thus far. Report this Post to the Staff
