Super. Many thanks.

Again many thanks. Are you able to recommend any good books that cover the awards mentioned above, including the Virtutea Militara? Rich

Excellent. Exactly what I needed to clear the confusion. I may call on your assistance again shortly with regards to the Medalia Barbatie Si Creinta. The medal and classes I understand. Award criteria for each I am struggling with. Or will this fall under the same diplomatic "pot luck" award? Sincere thanks.

Thanks for the swift reply Carol I Both really. Appearance and criteria - but specifically when awarded to British soldiers during World War One, so during time of war. I understand that images on the link you gave would be similar but with swords for military awards. Would that be correct? Rich

Hi Everyone. I have joined this forum to try and gain some clarity around the Order of the Star of Romania. My library does not cover this award, and information on the net is confusing to say the least. I am specifically trying to understand the difference between forth and fifth class awards for WWI military awards. ie first type. If anyone could advise of a good book, website or supply some pictures I would be grateful. Rich
