      OK, I knew I'd seen it some place before: http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=9297&st=18 http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=9297&st=28 Lovely one. Never seen on the market?

      Thanks for doing this. Life will now become much easier for the linguistically challenged!

      Quite a concept. Green Vulcan blood?

      Oh, sorry. Not a casualty (KIA). Sorry for you, not for him. Just to show what the medal SHOULD look like:

      And, while exporting this is (also) illegal, it'd bring a tidy price at auction in London, I'd suspect! Lovely group, by the way!

      Not finding him there is not a certainty, but this does have the smell of a "buy the medal, not the story" situation.
    12. Ed_Haynes
      No, you can just enter the surname without any decoration indicated and set it for the years desired. There may be some looking and, as I say, the system is far less than perfect. Still, better than using the paper index to the LG.

      Nice!! Central and South America is an especially "information-free" area. Anything helps A LOT!

      I know, Christophe, I was grasping at anything I could. I see no reason to expect "Asian", so the mystery stands.

      How could I have missed this one? Welcome to the collecting of Indian medals, Rick! Welcome over from The Dark Side!! A new addiction, a new slippery slope, always room for one more.

      While it is fairly cranky to use, the online London Gazette -- http://www.gazettes-online.co.uk/archiveSearch.asp?WebType=0 -- can be used to search for gallantry award winners. If the surname isn't too common, this should be the way to go.

      Good. It has not been linked three times. Read it three times.

      Nice badge for Sino-Albanian friendship. Have to ask a good friend in Shanghai who was one of half-a-dozen Chinese trained in Albanian and employed as a government translator back in the day when only Albania and China spoke to each other.

      I'd suggest we learn more about the way the system worked by seeing what was proposed and rejected that by seeing what was given out. But, then, my interests as a professional historian (not specialising in the USSR, otherwise I'd know Russian!) transcend the mere collection of "things" and of the fascinating stories beinnd them.
