Hi Everyone,

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

Many thanks,

David

any chance of a clearer pic pse??
One more charge and then be dumb,
            When the forts of Folly fall,
        May the victors when they come
            Find my body near the wall.

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

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





(of course a bloody big expensive camera helps as well  ;D)

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
