FW12 Posted April 9, 2012 Share #1 Posted April 9, 2012 Hello all! This US AAF Major's uniform recently sold on ebay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_trksid=p4340.l2557&item=160767314295&nma=true&rt=nc&si=tKy9VB50KPiU%252BalKaJlt8iteuDo%253D&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc). The jacket (and four other uniforms sold separately) belonged to a SHAEF AAF major, Major Meister. My question is: what is the middle ribbon, second row - the scarlet one with palm? I have been looking all over, but can't identify it. It's been nagging me, so any help would be great! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F-X Posted April 9, 2012 Share #3 Posted April 9, 2012 No, that's a Belgian order of Leopold I, knight class, the palm is for a bravery act. The other one is the belgian war cross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
