Swedes in Allied Forces 1939-45

[Stellan Bojerud (RIP)]

In an earlier post I have presented Assar Tano. I did however just find a 1945 photo of him (we were friends and I got it from him some years ago).

He served in the french Foreign Legion 1929-1945 and received:

1. Médaille Militaire
2. Croix de Guèrre (twice)
3. Croix de Combattant
4. Médaille Coloniale
5. Médaille Commemorative de la Guèrre 1939-1945

He also received Norwegian Freeedom medal and some post WW 2 Swedish medals.
