That English one looks outstanding! There weren't many NCOs with foreign awards in 1945. That 2nd one says: Fearsome kick- ass E8 @. 1955-8.

Outstanding! Also, Mr. Otto has kindly sent me some more information, including a spiffing scan of Brophy speaking with the Duke of Connaught in 1912!.......perhaps wearing this....

I assumed an RVO given to LSGC. I also assumed 1914-18 wear given the construction. so, were these 2 officers candidates?

Theodor is the man when it comes to Bulgarian medals. I do not think these have been faked. About200,000 were given to Germans and one still sees them in packets.

well, that narrows it down to officer (almost certainly) and a member of only a few units:RA or navy Brigade some sort of staff unusual wallah. None of the Indian regiments , except a small pioneer detachment, were in all 3 campaigns.

well, the colors are off on my iPad, but it's definitely a WW1 ribbon bar. What are the medals?

Outstanding research! I believe he is listed in the New Hampshire WW1 book and probably the Portsmouth newspapers. He was owed a New Hampshire state WW1 medal.

Short answer, yes. There was an OMRS article a few years ago about what units qualified for the Afghan bar and also the IRAQ bar. However, there were a significant number of officers on special assignment, transfer etc. who qualified for this combo. Many of the Indian units in the Afghan did not qualify for the Victory medal.

I think Eamaney must be the chap over by the Rev. Hes clearly wearing a Crimea medal with 3/4 claps. Interesting flag too.

The tughras at the top are interesting. Demir can translate it and I reckon it's a horse brass/ award. the tughras as will tell the era. I'll ask Demir.
