Foreign Legion in the Sahara

[Rick]

Hi Mark,
I believe the lanyard went around the officer's neck as illustrated in this photo of an RCMP officer in dress uniform. Note that the loop goes underneath the epaulette straps.

There used to be a b+w tv show series about The Legion from the fifties that I watched as a kid.
As I recall Buster Crabbe was the lead role.

Yes, I'm old.
