demir Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Dear Friends, In my book I shared with you (pages 84&85 the package of the TWM, but I forgot to show both them them together. When you only show the package and give dimensions it does not really give the image comparing the Medal. Actually the package is really small. Here see yourself, enjoy Demir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demir Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 (edited) Errata list for the book THE TURKISH WAR MEDAL: Please note the difference in the translation of the TWM Document. PAGES: 47,77,78,81,82 OLD: … you are granted the War Medal by our esteemed imperial majesty, his royal highness Sultan. NEW: ... you are granted the War Medal on behalf of holy sublime imperial majesty, His Royal Highness Sultan. Even though I explained in the book that Enver Pasha changed the Regulation of the War Medal and replaced the word "Berat" (Document signed by the Sultan) with "Vesika" (Document) in order to make it possible for him to sign it (the documents have his seal and signature on them), I missed the the old Turkish word "nam-ı" in the original document while translating (actually it means "on behalf of"). Thanks Demir Edited April 18, 2013 by demir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azyeoman Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 This is an essential book to have if you're interested in the Turkish War Medal and is exceptionally helpful as a guide in identifying the different makers. If you don't have a copy, then I urge you to buy one for your library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
