Hi Dan, It is the Medal of the Latvian Union for Life-saving. The writing on the medal translates as "Latvian Rescue Union on the Waters". The Union was formed in 1923 and awarded diplomas, gold or silver medals and certificates for distinguished acts of rescue. The reverse of the medal should bear the name to whom it was awarded and the date. Unfortunately I don't have the faintest idea of its value. Very best regards, VJK

Many thanks Dave, much appreciated. Very best regards, VJK

Hi, Can anyone please provide some biographical info on Bansi - DoB, DoD, date of retirement, commands held, etc. A Google search provides surprisingly little on this General. Many thanks in advance, Best regards, VJK

Hi! Here is a pic of vez?rőrnagy (Major General) Vit?z Zolt?n Sz?gyi with his medal bar. Best regards, VJK

Hi Christophe, Many thanks for posting the pic of Roeder - he has been a very elusive character. He is one of the "Tannenberg" generals who received a promotion to char.General der Infanterie on 27 Aug 1939 on the 25th anniversary of the Battle of Tannenberg. Best regards, VJK

I'm not a seller and only infrequently try to buy something of special interest. In my naivety, it never even occurred to me that my simple request for help from the vast amount of expertise participating in this Forum could be misused by "unknown 3rd parties since putting money in the pockets of sellers who are too lazy to do their own research is SUICIDAL among us as fellow collectors". I will be more careful in future and curb my impatience for knowledge until such time the article in question has been sold. I'm glad Christophe, that the picture has found a good home, and sincerely hope that with our combined knowledge we can put a name to the face. He certainly bears a strong resemblance to Erich W?llwarth. Best regards, VJK

Many thanks for clearing that up Glenn, I've sent you a PM. Best regards, VJ

Hi! This pic was advertised on ebay.de. Can anyone please put a name to the man with the nice set of medals? Many thanks in advance, VJK
