George Tulloch and Ron Fitch have advised us that they have been awarded the French Legion d'Honneur with a presentation to take place soon.
The Legion of Honour, or in full the National Order of the Legion of Honour (French: Ordre national de la Légion d'honneur), is a French order established by Napolean Bonaparte on 19 May 1802. Napoleon believed France wanted a recognition of merit rather than a new system of nobility.
The Order is the highest decoration in France and is divided into five degrees of distinction. A number of Australian Airmen have received the honour in recognition of outstanding services in the liberation of France during the Second World War.
Our congratulations go out to all the following Odd Bods who have received the honour. If we have missed any names, please let us know.
