Rare Original Signed Léon Degrelle Photograph – Walloon Legion Oath Ceremony – Dedicated to José Dohet, Brother of KIA Adjudant Camille Dohet (1941)
€850,00An exceptionally rare original wartime photograph depicting the oath-taking ceremony of the Légion Wallonie (373rd Walloon Infantry Battalion) during its training period in Meseritz, Germany, in 1941.
The image captures the famous Burgundy Cross (Croix de Bourgogne) Legion standard during the ceremony. According to published reference works on the 373rd Walloon Infantry Battalion, the flag is carried by Sergeant Kaison, accompanied on the right by Sergeant Jean Georges and on the left by Legionnaire Fauconnier. This exact photograph is published and identified in the standard history of the battalion, confirming both the event and the identities of the flag party.
The reverse bears a scarce handwritten dedication and signature by Léon Degrelle, dated 21 September 1941, reading:
“À José Dohet, de la part de son frère Léon Degrelle. Fait en campagne contre les Soviets. Le 21 septembre 1941.”
(“To José Dohet, from your brother Léon Degrelle. Written while on campaign against the Soviets. 21 September 1941.”)
The dedication was made to José Dohet, the brother of Adjudant Camille Dohet, who served as a Chef de peloton (Platoon Leader) in the 3rd Company of the 373rd Walloon Infantry Battalion. Camille Dohet was later killed in action at Gromovaja-Balka on 28 February 1942, making this a poignant wartime keepsake sent to his family while he was still serving on the Eastern Front.
This photograph therefore combines several highly desirable collecting aspects:
- Original wartime photograph of the Walloon Legion oath ceremony.
- The iconic Burgundy Cross Legion standard.
- All principal members of the flag party identified in published reference literature.
- Original handwritten dedication and signature by Léon Degrelle.
- Direct association with the family of Adjudant Camille Dohet, a documented platoon leader of the 3rd Company who was killed in action in early 1942.
- Dated from the Eastern Front during the Legion’s first campaign against the Soviet Union.
An outstanding historical and research piece with exceptional provenance, linking one of the best-known ceremonial photographs of the Walloon Legion directly to the family of a fallen officer of the battalion.
Condition
Very good original condition with light age wear. Reverse retains the original handwritten dedication and signature by Léon Degrelle.

The order existed in two classes, with the 2nd Class recognizing significant personal bravery and combat merit.
This particular decoration is especially desirable as it remains numbered and researchable, with accompanying archival documentation identifying the original recipient as:
Sergeant Sergei Petrovich Gordenko
338th Rifle Regiment, 96th Gomel Red Banner Rifle Division

During the assault on a fortified enemy position near the Frisch–Nehrung area, he was the first to attack enemy trenches and led his squad forward under fire. Overcoming determined German resistance, his unit broke into the enemy defensive line. During the action he personally eliminated enemy soldiers with hand grenades and contributed directly to the successful capture of the position.
For these actions he was recommended for and awarded the Order of the Patriotic War, 2nd Class, a decoration reserved for proven combat merit and personal courage in battle.
Historical Significance
The Order of the Patriotic War was the first Soviet order established during World War II and one of the most respected decorations awarded on the Eastern Front. More than 950,000 examples of the 2nd Class were awarded during the war, recognizing countless acts of bravery performed under combat conditions.
Documented and identified examples such as this are highly sought after because they allow collectors to connect a specific award directly to a named soldier and a recorded act of battlefield heroism.
