Thank you both, that's really interesting. Seems to be for the 1920 National Day for Large Families.

Does anyone have any idea what this little French medal was issued for? Its a nice little thing.

Thank you Graf. Fantastic photos and thank you for the information. Thank you Hendrik, I thought it changed from French text to French and Flemish. I spent ages yesterday looking online for a French only one but of course couldn't fine one. Thank you for clarifying that.

Can someone tell me the difference between the pre and post 1958 Belgian Labour Decoration please? Or does anyone have a photo of a pre 1958 one please?

Thank you, that's really interesting.

Hello, I bought this recently, more as a curiosity really. I realise it could just be two unrelated items cobbled together, but it got me thinking. Would it be even plausible for a serviceman to have served in both the Normandy Campaign and in The Burma Campaign? And if so, would this have been relatively common, or something out of the ordinary? Thank you, Duncan.

Hi, thanks for the information.

Fantastic collection!

Thank you both for the information.

Hello, can someone please identify this French medal and tell me what it was awarded for. I've tried Googling the French text, but not had much luck. Thank you, Duncan.

I was wondering if that might be the case. Here's two I recently got; just 1st and 2nd Class in French in the boxes.

Thank you.

Thank you for the information.

Hello, can someone please identify which Belgian medal this may have contained? Thank you, Duncan.

Thank you for the information.

Thank you.

Is anyone able to give me any information on this unusual medal please. I've searched Google but can find nothing on it. Regards, Duncan.

Is anyone able to give me some information on when and why this table medal was issued please? Duncan.

Ohh yes, thanks, didn't see that about the Middle East, was looking at the Battle Honours.

Can someone tell me if the abbreviations on the rear of this medal refer to Indian Grenadiers please? If so would the award of the 1939-1945 Star indicate active service against the Japanese in the Burma campaign?

Yes, that's what's happened I think. My own stupid fault, bit too trusting 😒

I've had a mounted 1939-1945 Star, France and Germany Star, and 1939-1945 War Medal in my collection for ages. It was sold along with the dog tag (attached). It also came with paperwork relating to the details of the man on the dog tag showing him being wounded twice, once in 1944 then again in 1945. However, I've recently read that all WW2 dog tags were the fiber types and metal dog tags were post 1960. I suspect an unrelated dog tag and medals were grouped together. What do people think? If metal dog tags are post 1960 then why do the details match a man serving in WW2. I'm quite confused!

Hello Hendrik, thank you again for your kind help. Kind regards, Duncan.

Could someone also please tell me the award criteria to for the bars La Gette and Flandre 1940 too please?

Hello Hendrik, thank you very much for the information, it's very much appreciated. Kind regards, Duncan.
