Welcome to the thread and the posting this pic is much appreciated...photo is a little dark but it appears to be two FJ sleeping in the ruins of a bombed out house. Is that correct? Bill
Eric,
Fantastic photo!! of well decorated FJ's with FJ Rgt 1 Cufftitles. If you ever want to give that one up give me a call!! Bill
I've seen a photo with seven awards (RK, DK, CCC, EK1, para Badge, LWGAB, WB) this is not iincluding ribbon for EK2. of course there could be another photo out there with more. If so you probably have it Eric!! Bill
Here is a neat photo of Fredrich Lange. You don't see many original photos of paratroopers wearing the PVA, especially 3 of them. Interesting to see him wearing the ISA and ASA as well.
Bill, on post # 328 you posted a pic of a vehicle with a unit insignia painted on it ( an S inside a diamond ). Do you know which unit that is. I have of course seen R, B, H and K in the diamonds, but not S before.
Excellent photo of FJ Lange!!! Also interesting combination of badges...one thing I find confusing is that he is wearing both the LWGAB and IAB...I thought when the LW introduced the LWGAB it was suppose to replace those IAB's awarded to FJ or LWFD troops. I have a number of LWFD photos of troops initially wearing the IAB and later the LWGAB but not both. Yours is rather a rare shot and against regulations...as usual.
Here is a photo of FJ parading in review...interesting in that I think I spotted a LW Military chaplain in that group of officers giving the stiff arm.
