FRANCE: WW2 War Cross with Palms and 2
Bronze Stars, for equal citations at the Army
and at the Regiment/Division level
respectively).
On ribbon with the colors of the Vichy
Government.
This is the rarest type of the rarest version of
the French WW2 War Cross, the “London
Type”, with British type suspender and dated
"1939 1940" on the reverse side (the more
"common" (but still scarce) London type is
undated on the reverse).
These Crosses (but with the green ribbon with
red stripes) were issued by the French
Committee of National Liberation – the
provisional Government of Free France, that
under General de Gaule continued fighting
against the Nazis, from the UK, following the
capitulation of France. The fact that this War
Cross is of the London type but on Vichy
Government ribbon, makes the Cross rather
unique.
