Hi Everyone,

Does anyone recognize this French medal/badge. Text in red band says "Conseil General Aisne".

Many thanks,

David

Yes, sorry it's blurred. I was having a problem getting it attached as the file was too big. A bit new to this!

No probs...I have trouble photographing small soldiers (Warhammer) for my 9yr old's website...They normally end up like that!!!  ;D

use a tripod, nice big depth of field, try and bounce your flash rather than using it direct  ;)

oh and the translation of 'Conseil General Aisne' is something like the General Council of Aisne (a district of france), so i suspect it may not be military
