      No this is not the War Ribbon.
    2. P.F.
      This is the pre-1932 ribbon but with a later cross.

      Thank you for your help. You are the Romanian expert! Kind regards Pierce

      Many thanks for your reply. After translating this I think he is a good match- in particular as he was the Military Attaché to Germany at this time. Does this article say he was the King's honorary adjutant between 1930-1940? Kind regards Pierce

      Is there any way of working out who this General was? The certificate is dated 12th November 1936. Many thanks Pierce

      Thanks Paul. I'm on the trail of my ancestors. Do you know if there are many online records available? As I say, this is a new area of research for me.Pierce

      I believe Prinz Friedrich zu Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg is wearing the Portuguese Military Order of Christ.

      Hermann Göring received the Grand Cross, which counts for that one but I have not been able to find out many recipients of the 1st Class. Here are three: -Generalfeldmarschall Walther von Brauchitsch -Generaloberst Franz Halder -Generalleutnant Ludwig Keiper
    14. P.F.
      He is wearing three breast stars: Order of the Crown, Grand Cross Order of SS. Maurice & Lazarus, Grand Cross Order of the Colonial Star, Grand Cross

      Lukasz Thank you for checking this. Regarding Göring, I agree- it was a mix up with the Yugoslav Order of White Eagle, which Göring had from 1934/1935. Kind regards Pierce

      Thanks for your reply. Yes, this is the page I found but I also came across this one: https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kategoria:Odznaczeni_Orderem_Or%C5%82a_Bia%C5%82ego_(II_Rzeczpospolita Here there are 116 recipients listed, including Hermann Göring, which is probably a mistake! Does Wesolowski give the names of recipients?

      I came across this table of stats on German wiki and I wanted to know if the names are known of the 34 German holders of the 1st Class of this award? No source was given there unfortunately. I assume the names are out there as the figures seem to be detailed and not just rounded off. Thank you Pierce
    18. P.F.
      Perfect. Thanks again.

      Carol I, Just two more questions- What were the Award Grades in the Honour Cross series? Was the 1st Class the highest grade? Thanks Pierce
    20. P.F.
      What are the award ribbons worn on the buttonhole here (fig.753)? Thank you
    21. P.F.
      Carol I Thank you for this detailed post. Noting the distinction between the Order and Honour Cross has really helped my understanding. Kind regards Pierce
    22. P.F.
      Thank you Paul. I had read online (wiki) that there were 112 bestowals during this period...and another source there gave 116. Kind regards Pierce
    23. P.F.
      Gentlemen, Is the precise number of White Eagle Orders awarded for the period of the Polish 2nd Republic known? Thank you Pierce
    24. P.F.
      Paul, Thank you again. Is there any photos of the Grand Cross? I cannot find any Pierce
    25. P.F.
      Paul, Thank you for your informative replies. The image I posted- is that the Commander Cross? Thanks Pierce Any record, photographic or otherwise, of high ranking Germans receiving this award?
