On the breacktrough of the german defense he gave the staff on the right time the right info and he saved a wounded scout from the battlefield.

    9. Francois, you are great, the best of the best. Thank you very, very, very much.
    10. Thank you very much Francois. This is great!
    11. Dear Francois, Bear, Rick Research, I almost not dare to ask you it, but can you also find the names in the following documents: The first with 27 commanders from 7 march 1812: back: The second with 6 knights from 20 february 1813: I would be most grateful if you could find some time to decode the names.
    12. wow, what a magnificent collection. @ Rick Research About what book are you talking? I have searched on the internet for the book from Stalins, but I couldn't find anything.
    13. Bear, if you ever going to sell you docs, please keep me informed.
    14. Francois, I allready said Thank you on the OMSA forum, but I want to thank you again. Everybody else, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. This is awesome. I never could figured it out by my self.
    15. Last week I have bought this original old document: It concerns the appointment of 5 Knights in the Imperial order of the Reunion: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordre_de_la_R%C3%A9union Is here somebody who can read it? I have "decode" a part, but not the whole text. See the attachment for my work. Any help would be very much appreciated. tekst_document_orde_reunie.doc
    16. yeah, I know. I have bought it because I allready have an original example and it is good reference material.
    17. Here is a photo of the 39-45 star that I had bought as a copy.
    18. I have The Kings Medal of the London City Council (see attachements) with 1919 -20 bar and a name on the side: A. Vermeulen (sounds like a Dutch name). There is no serialnumber, only the name. The photo's are not of good quality (a little bit dark, but is was evening when I made them.): http://i40.tinypic.com/25ew8ih.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/14j6nt0.jpg I have completely no experience with Britisch medals. My main part of my collection is Dutch and a little bit Soviet/Russian odm's. I allready got some info: http://www.mernick.org.uk//attendance/medals/m_George.htm And the British 1911 Census records: http://www.1911census.co.uk/ But there I have found only 2 Vermeulen's, and no A. Vermeulen. Can somebody tell me more about how to research this?
    19. This is the first time I see US manufectured pieces. The only one's I have seen where the Belgium versions: http://www.eekelers-centini.be/catalog/ind...109d3e9e3b406f4
    20. Thank you very much! I learned a lot.
    21. And this French version have a two-pointed pin. Does all the French UN-medals have that?
    22. Thanks for the photo's . The differences are clearly visible.
    23. Thank you Darrell.
    24. Thanks for the pdf file. If al that missions have its own medal, then the official UN medal site isn't complete. And if I look the the list in this topic, I'm very sure that the site isn't compleet. I miss the UNAMID and UNMIT medals. And I only looked to page 4 of this topic. Another question, I saw the great scans of the different Korea medals. From where did they came? It looks like a very interesting book/publication to my.
