Hugh Posted July 26, 2008 Author Share Posted July 26, 2008 Sorry - up to Wira Dharma, they were in order of precedence, but I got out of order overnight. The proper order of precedence is shown in the earlier post listing all.

Hugh Posted July 26, 2008 Author Share Posted July 26, 2008 Note for Ulsterman - the GOM's are individual campaign medals (as I'm sure you have surmised). The location and date is in the title for each of them (I think). For example, GOM III is for Republik Malaku Selatan 1950 (South Mollucas 1950). It probably doesn't help that I left the names in Indonesian instead of the English equivalents. Here's Satya Lancana Penegak, 1965, (PKI - Sukarno/Suharto), Mint, ABRI (Armed Forces), This was the overthrow of Sukarno by Suharto and a group of generals. They used the pretext of growing Chinese communist influence (which was very real) and killed hundreds of thousands, mainly ethnic Chinese.

Hugh Posted July 26, 2008 Author Share Posted July 26, 2008 (edited) Satya Lancana Seroja Timur Timur (East Timor 1970), Mint, ABRI (Armed Forces), If I remember correctly, the Portuguese Revolution against Salazar took place in 1975, so this was an action against the Portuguese colony of East Timor before independence. You'll remember that it was also the site of a fracas between the Indons and E. Timor in the '90's. The Aussies had to come in and put the lid on. I'm guessing they have a new medal for that, but i haven't been back in a long time. Edited July 26, 2008 by Hugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
