The OMSD meeting on Octorber 22nd had a focus on photos of decorated persons.
Event summary - Photos of decorated persons

Photo of Louis Hermite

The theme of the evening proved to be popular. Several OMSD members displayed photos from their collections. Among them photos of royalty, of clergy and military, of just ordinary citizens, who all had something in common - they wore decorations on their chests.


The many photos sparked lively conversations among the members. The photo shown here is of Louis Hermite (1875-1962), French Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary in Denmark 1924-1933. He has written a greeting to captain Sorne - the French military attaché in Denmark - thanking him for good collaboration.
