Thank you very much for the input! The museum is actually located in the same building where the Military Academy of Monastir was situated.

Thank you both!

I've already posted this in the topic below, but I think it also belongs here. I bought this photo in an antique shop in Skopje, Macedonia. Yugoslav Major-General Svetozar Vukmanović "Tempo", giving a speech in Kumanovo, Macedonia in 1945. He's wearing a Yugoslav Order of the Partisan Star 1st class, Partisan Commemorative award of 1941 and a Soviet Order of Kutuzov 1st class.

The last but not least, bought in an antique shop in Skopje. Yugoslav Major-General Svetozar Vukmanović "Tempo", giving a speech in Kumanovo, Macedonia in 1945. He's wearing a Yugoslav Order of the Partisan Star 1st class, Partisan Commemorative award of 1941 and a Soviet Order of Kutuzov 1st class. I'm really glad, I've found this gem!

I'd like to share some of the stuff I've seen in Macedonia and some of the stuff which I've bought in some of the local antique shops. NI Institute and Museum Bitola. There's a part of the museum which is dedicated to Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. Firstly here are some of his uniforms. I doubt that those are actually his uniforms but still nice to see. I'd appreciate more knowledgeable members for futher information because I don't know much about them.

Wow! Such a remarkable medal bar!

Thank you Jim! Glad you like it.

Breathtaking collection!

Let's keep it alive, shall we? Here's all of my grandpa's awards. He was a Lt.Colonel of the Yugoslav People's Army, technical branch of service. Turned 80 this spring! First photo: Order of the Yugoslav People's Army 2nd and 3rd class Second photo: Order for Military Merits 2nd and 3rd class 3rd photo: Commemorative medals for 30 Years of the Yugoslav People's Army, 30 Years of Victory over Fascism and 40 Years of the Yugoslav People's Army

Very nice collection Alex! It's nice to see the difference between old and new officer's cross.

Amazing! Do you have any information about the man?

Thank you very much for the information Aahauge! The seller is asking around 15$ so it's a great deal.

Didn't know that, thank you for the additional information!
