Lion101 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Hello everyone, I recently pick up this medal offline and I was wondering anyone happen to know how it is and what it is for? I am grateful for any help that anyone could give, I know next to nothing about Palestinian awards and insignia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oamotme Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Dear Lion, The obverse reads, "Palestine Liberation Front - Freedom Force". The PLF was formed in the early 1960's by Ahmed Jibril, a Palestinian former Captain in the Syrian Army. Later, in 1967, the PLF became one of the constituent parts of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine - PFLP. Regards, Owain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion101 Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 Thank you Owain. I know this medal came out of Yugoslavia a while ago. Also, do you know if there is a Saudi Medal for the few troops that serve in the Yom Kippur War? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oamotme Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Dear Lion, I have one of these medals - it came with a black, red, black, ribbon - whether this was original I do not know. The Saudi have only ever issued once commemorative war medal and that was for the Liberation of Kuwait. Regards, Owain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
