Hi all,
I am new to this forum and I want to bring forward a question on below two Belgian medals: is someone familiar with these?
The cross on the left belonged to a Soldier of the Cyclists who fought on the WW2 campaign of 10.05.1940 till 28.05.1940 and became a prisoner of the Germans from 29.05.1940 till 10.06.1940.
I believe it is likely a WW2 veteran cross, but hopefully someone can tell me exactly what it is.
The medal on the right is likely a civilian medal for due to the symbols present: the helmet of Hermes and a factory.
But again, I do not know who issued it.
Hope someone can help.
Greetings,
Christiaan

Dear Werner,
Thank you for your reply. At least one is compleetly clear now!
On the Medal for liberal union membership; I see 3 different examples on your picture. Can I presume, there is Gold, Silver and Bronze class, or only 1st Class (Gold) and 2nd Class (Silver) as middle and right examples are different variants from silver.
I expected the one on the left to be indeed a Veterans Cross, but maybe someone knows which group.
@speedytop; thank you for the picture adaptation.
Greetings,
Christiaan
