That is a GREAT photograph! Thankee'

Rick: Isn't that the life saving medal on the medal bar? Odd ribbon too, if it is.....
-
Jeepers- I hope I live in that style when I am 75 years old! :cheers:

Fake? ...or copy? I am VERY confused here. What is the "state of affairs" with Nepalese/Indian medal bars? If a Ghurka Sergeant is wearing a full medal rack with copy medals, doesn't that validate them as wearing copies? What happened to his originals? Never issued? Lost, stolen?... or is he a fraud? (I can not fathom the latter).

Well, my Honour ranklist has him in the Kreigschool in Kassel, commanding Gren. Regt 3 in the war, Major General aD: REO4, LS, Cntl AND (!) Rettungsmedal in 1914! Nice.
-
Still good to see the Ghurkas hold true to some good old traditions, like Remembrance Day and decently mounted medal bars (A VERY nice rack I would say too, although I only recognize two of the medals- Ed?).

4150 C for an order of Glory;3rd class? Mon, you cracked the lottery this month. Congratulations, the collecting Gods love thee.
-
Well, it all looks good to me, except maybe the spangen. Those are key are they not? These I do not know about; hopefully others can spot the modern copies.

A color slide I got:

A family or firm motto perhaps? "To fight/struggle alone is ....?"? Or, perhaps a sports prize of some sort...it sounds rather a sporty motto?
-
ooops- I meant 1913, by the LS medal peeking out at the end of the bar.
-
the photo in its entirety. Note the horse.
-
a close up of the bar and stripes: I think I see the Prussian honor medal on war ribbon, a crown order medal, a China medal, a SW Africa medal and a LS medal. Daniel, perchance any idea who he might be?
-
Check this out. I bid on this and lost. Lo-it came to live down the street from me, whence I have borrowed it for YOUR viewing pleasure. Check out the medal bar. Now THAT's a Feldwebel!
-
hmmmm...I do not think that Austrian cross belongs there-but is the last ribbon correct , fat and flat mounting style too?
-
nice! Glad to see the swords were fixed: rare, rare, rare.
-
small world. I got this small id photo @ 10 years ago at a show in Massachusetts. I got it for the ribbon bar: Austrian and Hungarian 14-18 commemorative s ONLY!
-
Ditto here! A most fascinating piece of history! Thank you.

Medal Bar to Captain Edward Muhlenfeld
Ulsterman replied to Ed Maroli's topic in United States of America
Nice: Having spent some time aboard one of those old destroyers, he earned every medal. -
Elegant, simple and succinctly says all that needs to be said. :cheers:

I note that in some instances ribbon bars are worn "on campaign". Interesting, although I may be seeing photos of police and paramilitary units with them. Do you know if the Indian soldiers wear ribbon bars in combat?
-
Hmmmmm...sounds like a worthwhile OMSA website project if one was bored (and retired). The recent book sounds exciting. I believe (hope) my copy is in Santa's bag hidden in my wife's closet somewhere. A recent photo of a Peacekeeper in the Congo 5 days ago. India has a long tradition of peacekeeping in Africa. Worthy of a book I reckon.

Good stuff. Can you show us any examples? They look intriguing.
