Serbian Army captain Flora Sandes was decorated with the Order of Karađorđe's Star with swords! She's was also awarded with the Order of St. Sava and Serbian Red Cross Order.
In 1997 a movie about Flora Sandes was made in Serbia named "Our Englishwoman".

PS I posted a list of British recipients of the Karađorđe's Star with Swords here: http://gmic.co.uk/topic/64985-order-of-the-star-of-kara%C3%A4%E2%80%98or%C3%A4%E2%80%98e-with-swords-british-recipients/?page=1

I'm still amazed with amount of information you were able to dig up based on handwriting!
I think there's a strong possibility that the order on the right just bellow the sash is the Order of the Cross of Takovo!Getting larger image would be great!

I apologize for going off-topic, here are some other recipients of Ottoman decorations from that era.
Luka Lazarević (Лука Лазаревић), looks like Nişan-ı İftihar, please correct me if I'm wrong.
Apart from that we can see he's also awarded with Russian Golden Medal for Bravery and Zeal (Медаль "За храбрость и усердие") from 1804 on St. George ribbon!0 -
I apologize for asking again but the auction is nearly over so I would be very grateful if someone could help me determine if it's original or not.

Apart from the ruling families I've seen paintings and lithographs of prominent Serbs from that period, some even leaders of the First and Second Serbian Uprising, wearing Ottoman decorations. If i'm not mistaken most of them were decorated with Nişan-ı İftihar. I'll try to dig up more photos...

Serbian stamps honour Scots WW1 heroines
in The Great War 1914 to 1918
Posted · Edited by paja
The memorial fountain “Crkvenac” in Mladenovac (Спомен-чесма Црквенац у Младеновцу) was erected in WWI in honor of the women from Scotland who took care of the wounded Serbian soldiers. The memorial fountain, 3.35 x 3.00 x 0.60 meters, has the shape of an arch supported in the front with two columns and a white marble vaulted plaque placed in the centre. The marble plaque is 1.10 x 1.00 meters and contains an inscription both in English and Serbian: “1915 – to the memory of the sanitary mission of Scottish women to Serbia and its founder Dr. Elsie Inglis – erected by the hospital from Mladenovac. Built by the soldiers of the Moravska division under the supervision of the reserve I cl. captain. Bor.”
The memorial fountain is made from concrete, bricks and marble.
Dedication of the memorial fountain “Crkvenac”, October 1915.
