There are 5 medals in the photo awarded to martyr Turkish Colonel Nuri Pamir who was shot dead in Korea June 5, 1952.

The first one is the Turkish Independence War Medal, second the Turkish War Medal.

Then next 2 USA medals and I think last one is Korean. Will you please help me to recognize these medals.

Thanks

Thank you gentlemen, for your lovely remarks. As you all emphasized Ataturk was a great soldier and statesman.

The war in Canakkale showed the world how even the enemies respected each other and chivalry of the both sides,

and at the end created 3 new Countries; Australia, New Zealand and Turkey.
