Dominion Posted 13 February , 2020 Share Posted 13 February , 2020 I've just come into ownership of what I believe to be an medal for a Greek interpreter. It is a War Medal with the inscription: 48 INTPR.A.LADAS. I honestly don't even know where to begin with this. I've had a look through the forum and couldn't find much else about interpreters. A search online didn't come up with much either. I am presuming the recipient to be Greek as the name Ladas is an occupational seller of olive oil in Greek. If anyone could point in the direction of more information it'd be very much appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernard_Lewis Posted 13 February , 2020 Share Posted 13 February , 2020 Is A. Ladas the chaps name? I think Ladas is a Greek name, historically linked to olive oil sellers... Bernard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith_history_buff Posted 14 February , 2020 Share Posted 14 February , 2020 He should be on a medal roll, most likely WO 329/2346, which would cover British Salonika Force. Images 34 to 61 inclusive (of 368) of this medal roll (via Ancestry) list various names, Cadozzo, L being the first. It may mention to and from dates on the roll for this locally employed interpreter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
