Medal identification
« on: Wednesday 11 September 19 07:34 BST (UK) »
Another unidentified photo from an album, I was wondering if anybody might have any ideas what the medal might be?

Many kind thanks in advance for any help.

The badge/medal of the Legion d'honneur is a five-armed "Maltese Asterisk" (for want of a better description—see Maltese Cross).

That in the photo is a four-armed Maltese Cross.
