Retlaw - thank you sooo much for the thumbnail. My mum's cousin had told me that there had been some citation by the French president and he thought it was the 'Croix de Guerre' but I could never find any record of such an award!! I have also tried fishing a little about his arenas of war, but as yet haven't come across any. Thanks to you I have something.
Where did you get the newspaper article? Have you any idea when that was dated?
So pleased
