amadnei Posted 25 January , 2014 Share Posted 25 January , 2014 My father recently gave my some of the 'family medal' , I believe these one are from my grand-father. I found that the one of the right is the Order of merit , but the other one Im a bit clueless. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPT Posted 25 January , 2014 Share Posted 25 January , 2014 The one on the left seems to be the Croix du Combattant medal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topgun1918 Posted 25 January , 2014 Share Posted 25 January , 2014 The medal with the yellow-and-red ribbon is the Tunisian Order of Nichan Iftikar, probably fourth class. Sources differ as to whether the name translates to Order of Glory or Order of Victory and to the date upon when the order was founded, suggestions being 1831 by Husain bin Mahmud Bey, 20 May 1835 by the Bey Mustafa of Tunisia or 1837 by the Bey of Tunis. It would have been awarded together with a Certificate confirming the class of the order. Graeme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
