    1. Take a look at this forum for more dutch medals: www.onderscheidingenforum.nl
    2. Great! Is thisone in your collection? Do you have a name of the wearer?
    3. Beautifull set. The Wharang/Hwarang is the 4th military decoration of the ROK.It is a decoration for merit (not bravery). Above the Wharang there are the bravery awards; Chung Mu, Ulchi and Taeguk. (The Chung Mu can been seen in the set posted by me) There is also a Modern version of the Chung Mu in my set, the neck cross.
    4. Does anyone know the names of the unknown batons (ribbons) on these sets (red underlinded)
    5. The Bronze Star is named and the Chugmu numbered! This belonged to a Dutch/British RAF Pilot during WWII and later volunteer of Korea as an Officer. With documents and photo's.
