Re: French - Request for Identification
I have no idea who he is but his cap device as well as the color of his uniform indicates that he is a Naval not an Airforce member. At this time the Army Air Corps was a part of the army and had the same uniforms as the army.

Re: French - Request for Identification
French?? The eagle ceased to be a national symbol in France since 1870 with the fall of Napoléon III...
the only French is de Gaulle
crossed anchors, shield under an eagle, seems to be some US Navy Admiral

He is François Félix Michellier http://ecole.nav.traditions.free.fr/off ... r_frix.htmttvon wrote:Who is the Gerenal with Patton?
As i can read the first is ~"A. Papillon". It is not written he is attaché militaire or anything.Ian Sayer wrote:Despite having received a superb response from photos of early 1930s military attaches which I posted on othere threads I am still left with a few ho remain unidentified. I believe , but I am not positive, that these theree photos depict French military attaches or (in one case an assistant) who were serving in Warsaw between 1934 and 1937. Can anyone perhaps help with their identification and perhaps a short biography?
Many thanks
Ian
The second is "capitaine de Frégate" "attaché naval", a navy guy.
The third is "capitaine" and "adjoint à l'attaché militaire".
Maybe if i could zoom, maybe i could read better.
Re: French - Request for Identification
Hello all!translated by a friend of mine:
The dedication says: "to my dearest "petit co" (for little pal or comrade?) in memory of the unforgettable years in Metz and Saverne 1936-1939. Very affectionaly, Gal (for general?) XXX (can't read his signature)"
I had not noticed this post.
"Petit co" is for" Petit conscrit". It is Saint-Cyr school slang and it means that the two officers belong to the same promotion (attended the school at the same time).

I cannot find any naval officer whose name is Papillon; but a André Paul Pillon is mentionned in the 1924 promotion:

Re: French - Request for Identification
Hello iffig
I have just looked at the photo again. It doesn't really look like Andre Paul Pillon but it could be, particularly if you cannot find a naval officer under Papillon. It is a pity there are no photos available of Pillon. What rank is the officer in the photo?

Re: French - Request for Identification
And there was a lieutenant de vaisseau Papillon who was acting as an attaché naval in Varsovia in 1932!
Certainly the same guy ....
