The certificate is from the National Federation of Combatant Prisoners of War and is awarded to Mr Jean Marie Allibert from Montfavet, which is in Southern France. It is dated 1953 and is accompanied by his Combatant Cross and his War Commemorative Medal without bar. These are the typical awards given the French soldiers who saw combat prior to the fall of France in 1940, but who did not win a bravery award or evade capture.
