I can't thank you enough for taking the time to get this for me, I have shared this with the rest of the family and they are grateful as well.   Bendy Kálmán is still alive and but I don't see him very much, I am not sure how much he knows about his fathers military past.  I have another family member sending this info out and we will make sure he gets this info.  I know most veterans don't like talking about their experiences in battle I am not sure if Julius ever shared any details with his kids.  Thank you again for the help and if you are also a veteran of the military I'd like to thank you for your service as well!

The Bronze "Signim Laudis" Medal in on emerald green ribbon - he awarded for civilian merits, not as soldier.

On the photo he wears an officer uniform of the interwar period - most likely he was an officer candidate in the WWI (they recieved medals for non-commissioned ranks ) and later promoted to reserve junior officer.

If you tell me his name I can search him in the database of the Vitéz Order. The Vitéz Order was an organization for decorated WWI Veterans.

Thank you so much for your help I really appreciate it.  I will share this with the rest of my family, this will help me learn more about him.  I was very young when he passed and only remember a few times that he and my great grandma were at family functions.  They only spoke hungarian and I was to young to understand why they talked different. Haha.

His name was Julius Bendy, I do not have a middle name or know if he one is given.  He grew up in the town of Székesfehérvár. That is all we know anyone in the family that new him have passed.

Thanks

I have a picture of my great grandfather's service medals that I am trying to identify.  The picture isn't the greatest but it's the only one I could get.  Any help and additional info be greatly appreciated.
