Thanks again. And he was awarded medaille d'honneur argent

here is a closeup of the medals

Would appreciate any help. I'll post a pic shortly. My uncle was involved with Archangel. He went over with the 310th Engineers, and then transferred to Richardson's staff.

I just got one of these, but it is navy issued. I might just have to make do. The Army Russia bars are scare and don't come cheap.

A medal grouping for a relative yes. Serving Mother Russia, no. My avatar is a pic of a great great uncle who was a Capt in the US Engineers. He didn't see combat, any that I am aware of. But was awarded the Order of St Anne, while part of the American Expeditionary force in Russia, by General Evgeny Miller. He was on the staff of Gen Richardson. His original medals disappeared after he died, supposedly burgled. So, I have begun to acquire some of the medals he was awarded. So far I picked up a US Victory Medal (France bar, need to get a Russia bar), Merite Agricole (chevalier), US Germany Occupation medal. I need to get the Order of St Anne 3rd Class (civil), and then figure out what his other four medals are. And thank you Sir for you generous help.

Thanks again Lou.

Thanks Lou! Have to agree it is a bit steep. Do you know of any sites that produce replicas?

Thanks Oldham. The $15 version is now gone. I'll have it in about 2 weeks.

Does anyone have an opinion on this book? High in the Empty Blue: The History of 56 Squadron, Rfc/Raf 1916-1920 [Hardcover] by Alex Revell

Book has arrived and the amount of information is awesome. Highly recommend this just on briefly browsing. This shall keep me occupied until P4.

Excellent. Thanks for the insight Rugbyfan1972 & Shredward

O h yes I remember that... it is right next to the thingamajig

very nice indeed

but a big Thanks to Uncle Al for posting about region free dvd players. Picked up a toshiba and have enjoyed watching quite a few WWII flicks not in print in the US. Also picked up Wings but have not had the time to watch. Rather amazing that what is available at Amazon USA for $15+ used can be had for $5-10 USD new at Amazon UK. Have to say that the dvds from Amazon UK are much easier to open as they don't have the white security tape to peel off.

Well I got 4 dvds for $44.11 including shipping from the UK. Here in the US I priced it at $88.09 without shipping Also I did manage to use the proper code to unlock my US dvd player, but it didn't work for all of the region 2 dvds.

If he can take care of my mother-in-law, then I'd consider buying the whole kit for him.

dang uppity foreigners

Looks great ! but the link appears to be broken

might want to look at another case. I have the antec 900 and cable mgt is a slight pain.

that was really good

Here is a link to Derek Robinson's site and it appears that he has copies of Hornet's Sting http://www.derekrobinson.info/

I remember 9/11. Listening to the radio in the taxi report several unconfirmed explosions at DOJ and the State Dept as well as the planes into Pentagon and WTC. The cab ride was about 90 minutes cost $150, and all the while I was trying to figure out how many college buddies worked in the WTC. I lost one good friend that.

Congrats! It looks like he has your hair.
