    1. Flora Sandes, not in the list (probably because she earned her Karađorđe as a member of Serbian army). http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_01_2015/post-7937-0-03961600-1422636979.jpeghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_01_2015/post-7937-0-94927700-1422636986.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_01_2015/post-7937-0-73022200-1422636989.jpg

    3. One found on GMIC: http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/6396-montenegro-bravery-award/?p=70532 I hope Ed won't mind that I'm uploading photo he shared with us. PS take a look at post #6 in that topic, Ed also posted list of Indian recipients of Serbian decorations.
    4. GEORGE PHILIPS The people of Britain answered the government's call to support the suppressed of Europe. It was especially important that mine workers produced as much coal as possible to help the war effort. However, some miners responded differently and went to war. George Phillips a miner from Chatterley Whitfield who lived in Smallthorne, decided to do his bit by enlisting in the North Staffordshire Regiment. The Staffordshire Weekly Sentinel of the June 9th 1917 reported that George had been awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal and the Serbian Cross of Karageorge (black George). This medal was introduced in 1915 for acts of conspicuous bravery by Non Commissioned Officers and soldiers in the field. At a ceremony in Derby, General Sir John Maxwell made the presentation to George. The official Record said, "he bombed the enemy continuously for 31 hours, later he deliberately bombed the enemy from the open to draw off the enemy's attention from another regiment. In doing so he showed great gallantry and determination". We would like to put on record our appreciation to George Phillips Junior who contacted us by email and sent us photographs of his father and his fathers medals. He stated "I was tremendously excited when I found your web site. I was aware of the citation for his DCM but to think that someone had taken the trouble to publish it was really something".
