Wanted to add that found absolutely no mention of US forces being involved in fighting with these forces.

Really like Allan’s explanation. Makes alot of sense especially when you piece all the bits of information. The actual French units were battalions not regiments, 8240’s comments that never seen before (same for me) and not depicted in any site regarding this subject. Great insight by Allan on Liberia using English. Definitely not the old American Football League.

After a hasty google search came up zeroes, I want to know if anyone can identify this casing ? something for scale many thanks Rob

Top shelf group and display.

Very nice grouping and display. Well done! 

Wife brought this home from a weekend sale.  Initially bought for the frame but the more we looked at the handsome soldier in the USR uniform, the more we wondered about him. Can anyone shed some light on the era of this photo, USR service  - we're thinking Army Reserve (stateside or deployed?), and any way to track down who this soldier is?    The photo is sealed within the frame so no identifying info available unless we take the entire piece apart.  We only know that the framing was done in St. Louis based on the label at the bottom of the frame.   Thanks for any info you can share.

Very Nice. I know who The top two are named to

Just arrived!

Absolutely correct Patrick !

Wow!! What a fantastic grouping and a very remarkable display. Was he a family member or did you acquire this grouping? If the parents received the PH and possibly the DFC, how did it get r separated from the rest of the group? Once again, this is just a spectacular display!
