    1. Nice lot. But I think not al the medals of that colonel

      Normally, according to his years of service, a colonel should also have Commendeur in the Order of the Crown and officer in the order of Leopold. I also do not see a military cross in the lot.

       

      I also find

      1938/1939

      Capt Commandant Van Horen M. L. F.  ° 25-8-1895

      1 regiment Grenadiers

      Stamnummer 21480

      In 1939 he  already got the following medals

      Off Orde Crown with  palm

      off orde leopold

      War cross 14-18

      medal war volunteer 14 - 18

      Ysermedal

      Victory medal

       

      Commemorative medal 14-18

    2. I only find a drawing and a description of the medal in an article by A. Borné.

      Nowhere is there a condition to get this medal.

      A Borné has written several articles (most descriptions of medals without any form of explanation for getting them, since they were issued as private expenses from host country associations).
      Borné treated only Belgian medals in his articles.

      Has also made a book about the official Belgian medals and is regarded as expert in this area.

    3. Thanks my friends.

      922F  I do not know the name off te officer at this moment.

      I have to check the yearbooks concerning the Belgien air force officers period 1946/1953 and hope to find him.

       

      But I hope the ribbons can tell me more about him..
      It is good possible that the last order is the orde of Danneborg

    4. Thanks

       

      I also think the first ribbon is the Star of Ethiopia.

       

      The first ribbonl  I do not think it could be the order of thousand Hills.

      Iff I'm not wrong, the Order was instituted some time between 1982 and 1985) and this ribbon is on a uniforme that dates between 1939 ans 1953. But there also medals from the WW I. So It can be offered at this offer before 1939.

       

      The second France, Order of Agricultural Merit, Commander on a military uniform off a pilot ?

      Is this possible ?
