    1. I am not negative about the Whito Lion.

      But the whole is a strange combination to my own part.
      Here a clear view of the other ribbons

       

      On the crown order it is clear that the rosette is gone.
      For example, I do not see a militait cross
      A medal of war volunteer 14-18 this is strengthened by the crown on the ribbon of the commemorative medal.
      The beret for the commemorative medal I foresee that it corresponds to the injury mark on the sleeve. (would normally be a red cross)

      What also stands out, he has 2 x 4 loops on the ubniform for 2 breast stars.
      I am proud that this officer did not put all the ribbons on his uniform.

      In addition, the uniform has 7 frontstrips.

      My suspicion that this is before 1940 i. No ribbons from 1940-1945. The cut of the uniform and the pants are also typical 1930s Blue dress


      It has the grad of Lieutenant Colonel der Gidsen
      All this in conjunction with the 2 foreign symbols of honor must give a good guideline to find the name.

      I am aware that this is a lot of work to check a whole bunch of canidates on their files.

    2. Thanks Jan

      The officer's name is a problem.

      I would like to find out the name on the basis of the ribbons.
      I only know that the Belgian officer of the cavalry is and that this medal has been received between 1914 and 1940.

      If you have a list of Belgian officers who have received this medal, you can always email me.
      On this basis I can trace the officer's other medals and other information that the uniform tells me.
      This would be a good step in the direction of the name

       

    3. Thanks Guy.

      But I have a doubt about the order of the Crown Italy.

      I thought the order of the Crown is red / white / red

      This still has small red sides and I think it is
      red / white / red / white / red
      Both sides can easily be seen next to the Belgian centenary medal where the end is black.


      For the second ribbon I did mention that you are right.:thumbup:

      Are there lists of the Belgian officers who have received the Royal Victorian Order ?
