__________________________________________________________________________ 26--THE ILLUSTRATED WAR NEWS, NOV. 18, 1914. [Illustration: FOR GALLANTRY ON THE FIELD OF HONOUR: A FRENCH OFFICER RECEIVES THE ACCOLADE.] [Illustration: THE MUCH-DISCUSSED IRON CROSS: A GERMAN OFFICER DECORATED] "Who gives quickly gives twice." That paraphrase of one of Napoleon's war maxims in regard to the conferring of distinctions won in battle as speedily as possible after the event, has been adopted by the nations engaged in the world-war. Recommendations for the "V.C." have been announced as having been laid before our authorities, many grants of the "D.S.O." and "D.C.M." have already been garetted; and our French Allies have awarded the Legion of Honour to several officers and men. Our first photograph shows a French General publicly bestowing the accolade on a newly made Chevalier of the Legion of Honour. Our second shows a German Commander adorning a German officer with one of the innumerable Iron Crosses the Kaiser is sending round.--[Photos. by Alfieri.] __________________________________________________________________________ THE ILLUSTRATED WAR NEWS, NOV. 18, 1914--27 |
