I have just created a new Album which contains the pages of the splendid articles written 26 years ago by Marcus Cotton for the English language version of the French Militaria magazine.

Tells you all you need to know about these now sought after badges.

Have just read the new Album, thanks very much for creating it. Always thought the English version of this magazine was a good read and very well illustrated.

Simon.

Indeed it was. The French language edition still contains excellent articles on British and Allied items which now makes me appreciate all those French lessons some 50 years ago!

Alas,my French doesn't sound quite as good as yours, however I still always pick up a copy of the French version when I'm over there, very well illustrated and Google translate always helps when I'm stuck!

Unfortunately, I can't read it. When I enlarged the images the text pixelated too much.

Sorry there is a problem. I scanned them at a large size but the upload could not cope. I'll investigate and see what I can do. Please bear with me.

I never enlarge the image I use an A4 magnifying sheet over the screen which I find makes the text large enough to read without any distortion, bought it in a computer accessory shop some years ago. Not very hi-tech but it works for me!

I have scans of these if anyone wants them - don't all rush at the same time.
Or can they be posted in a thread ??

Unfortunately I have the same issue with clarity.

Could they be saved as a PDF doc and shared or would the file be too large too?

Just a thought, Bill

Default wetransfer.com?
Jon,

Interesting articles indeed but a bit to pixelated for my old eyes too.
Is it an idea to post your scans at wetransfer.com and then post the link here?

Marinus

The pdf is a good idea. Then those interested could download a copy for their reference.
