I assume then that this is a badge of the French Foreign Legion Old Comrades Association. If that is correct, where is it worn and by whom, please?

Hi Badger,
Nothing to do with the famous military Foreign Legion ... even if it has Legion in his name. It is a political association created in 1940 by the Vichy government by merging all the french military OCA's. Hope it helps... Herve |

Thanks for all the replies, but particularly to Herve, whose answer has clarified things now for me.
