Does anyone know where I can find a list of French WW1 Croix de guerre recipients?

Hello Irene,

Such a list doesn't exist. Can you tell us more about what you are looking for ? Maybe somebody could help you.
Best regards,
Christophe

My grandfather, Gustave Jacquot, was awarded the Croix de guerre during the first world war and I am trying to find out the circumstances behind the award.

It could be filed in the service record but it is not sure. This records called "Registre Matricule " are filed at the area record center (Archives Departementales) in the area where they lived when they was 20 years old.

Auguste and Gustave JACQUOT was born in Beaume les Dames (Doubs) France. I have requested the Besanson file center for you

Thank you Armand, I did not realize this would include the details of the medal.
Sincerely,
Irene

NB : It might be here but not sure

Good evening Irene,
Such research would be made easier if you had any hint to give us about the unit he served with during the war (or at least the one he was serving with ath the time he was awarded the Croix de guerre).

Best regards,

Oh, It's so stupid, I was in Besançon last week, but I never look at this part of this forum.
But I can ask my girlfriend if she can go there maybe next week.
