Hello Scott & Brian,

You are the US guys. So, please write me, is it wrong?

The Alamo

Hi Brian,

I agree fundamentally .... I watched 'The Alamo' last night

and the 'Spanish crosses' they were wearing looked totally different !

Thanks my friend for the reminder !

Yes it is wrong. It is German Spain-Cross. This I believe all started during WWII in a publication the US Army printed to describe various awards and called it a Spanish Cross. That and every book since...

Thanks Brian for this info. I noted it.
