It's a very interesting story. Unfortunately, none of her awards can be confirmed (other than the single BWM issued by the New Zealand Government for her time in the N.Z.A.N.S. She was present for the retreat, also being awarded the Retreat medal. A very interesting lady indeed! If it is ok to post here, I could post her entire story. Perhaps you are even able to answer some of the questions about her awards! Cheers Grant You will also notice she is wearing a Serbian cockade on her right hand side. If it is allowed, I could post her entire story here - perhaps you would be even able to help try and confirm her awards :-) Cheers

Thanks for the reply paja. It's appreciated. I think I'll use the Order for what I was originally wanting it for and see if I can sell/trade the case at some point. Thanks again!

Hi All, I let my heart rule my head and bid on an Order of the White Eagle with Swords. I have been looking for one for a while as I have medals to a Nurse from WW1 who was reportedly also awarded the White Eagle with Swords for rescuing an Officer under fire (I have been unable to confirm this in any records though) Anyway, the following medal was being sold by a dealer I purchase Japanese medals from..I got carried away and didn't get a chance to do any research. The medal arrived today and the first thing that struck me is that the medal does not sit correctly within the case. In fact the case appears to be for a more circular medal. I searched from the GMIC and found a comment that Bertrand also made cases for the Karageorge award, with swords!! Do I have a case for an Order of Karageorge and not a White Eagle? - I'm pretty sure I do (pictures are very hard to find on the net!!) but would like some expert advise before I go back to the dealer. Secondly, if the case is wrong...what class White Eagle do I have - the case says 4..but I suspect it may be 5th :-( Thanks in advance!
