    Hi,

    Here is one nice ribbon bar what belonged to the capitan Tirso de La Cal Diez, who was Blue Division priest. Nice to see EK2 and Wintercampaign end of the bar. Actually it is my very FIRST bar where the EK is not in the first place!

    If anyone here knows more about Mr. Diez, please let me know.

    There is two small plastic "pipes" on the bouth edges (those yellow-white ones). This period bars was attached to the uniform with the metal pins, throw those pipes.

    Nice looking medal bar to a brave priest. I´m really surprised ohmy.gif

    Highly decorated civil war and Blue Div. veteran, wounded in action, holder of the War Cross and six war military crosses ( 4 red and 2 white). And the Iron Cross 2nd of course.

    Impressive.love.gif What king of priest was he? The angel from Hell?

    Regards,

    Dolfek.

    The two ribbons at the right on the lower row are those of the 1958 long service crosses for NCO's...

    How could a guy who was a captain in the 1940's be awarded two crosses for NCO's that were created in 1958? The story behind your ribbon bar does not make sense to me.

    Best regards
