Keith_history_buff Posted 17 June , 2020 Share Posted 17 June , 2020 Conversely, if you are interested in awards of the Distinguished Conduct Medal or the Military Medal from the British War Office to allied soldiers, these books are recommended. They are lists of names, and associated military units. They do not have the (<<acte de bravoure décrit par la citation de médaille>>) citations of bravery, though.

draperju Posted 17 June , 2020 Author Share Posted 17 June , 2020 Thank you for you replies. What I want is the names of the medal from each country, not lists of their recipients.

Kimberley John Lindsay Posted 17 June , 2020 Share Posted 17 June , 2020 Dear Draperju, I left out the obvious ones for France and Belgium. The (etc.) refers to the various classes awarded... For your (and others) interest, I attach the medals and Image (Punjab Light Horse, ca. 1910) of a gallant and capable officer (Capt G. B. Goyder, IARO and General List) who, for example, was awarded both French and Belgian decorations, in addition to have been Mentioned in Despatches twice (Asst Provost Marshal attd 36 Ulster Div).

Kimberley John Lindsay Posted 17 June , 2020 Share Posted 17 June , 2020 Dear Graeme, Your list would be hard to top! I didn't know that the The Order of the Rising Sun was a 'men only' award…? Kindest regards, Kim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topgun1918 Posted 17 June , 2020 Share Posted 17 June , 2020 Hello Kim, I was quoting from own aide-memoire, put together in respect of awards recognising service in the Great War, made up to 1925; I have it that women were admitted to the women-only Order of the Precious Crown. The ever-reliable Wiki says that women were first admitted to the Order of The Rising Sun in 2003. Graeme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mancpal Posted 19 June , 2020 Share Posted 19 June , 2020 It seems a pity that the people concerned (I imagine others were involved) with such evident skill and enough attention to detail to fool auction houses and presumably collectors that they didn't produce high class reproductions (importantly sold as such) to the museums, collectors on a relatively limited budget and quite possibly family looking to buy a replacement for an incomplete set. Surely such people would pay the extra for a superior repro with at least some silver content. As far as fake poppies or anything else that defrauds charities, I'd chop their hands off and not with sharpest axe Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivor Anderson Posted 16 January , 2021 Share Posted 16 January , 2021 (edited) I note that the French Croix de Guerre was awarded much more frequently than the Medaille Militaire (photos), yet the CdeG is listed before the MM in the LGs?

Gabelou Posted 16 January , 2021 Share Posted 16 January , 2021 Hi! The military medal was create under Napoléon III as a "substitute" to Legion d'Honneur for NCo and soldiers, but they can neverteless obtain the LH for very outstanding action. 2 ways - outstanding action - long faithfull service ( more than 15 years) for carreer NCO. - during ww1, to enhance the prestige of MM, she was also given to general officers for great service at war. All the " Marechaux" and some general obtain the MM. On the official pictures in uniform of Marechal Petain, he always wear the MM. The croix de guerre is more frequent ; given to soldiers of all ranks when they receive a "citation" The general use in several countries is to wear forein medals (or even orders) AFTER the national ones. Among foreign deco, first order and then medals. The BG Linsay group is a good illustration : at the end Chevalier de la Couronne BE, CX de Guerre BE, Cx de Guerre FR Salutations à la Creuse.

Ivor Anderson Posted 16 January , 2021 Share Posted 16 January , 2021 Thank you Gabelou. Is the CdeG or MM worn first if someone holds both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabelou Posted 16 January , 2021 Share Posted 16 January , 2021 first MM ( assimilate to an Order), then CdG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
