      Great collection  :love: Thanks for sharing it with us!

      I really like that 2nd class of the Order for Merits in the Fields of Defense and Security, what makes it special is the fact that the green wreath is correctly positioned. I don't know why but on most of the 1st and 2nd classes they are rotated 45 degrees clockwise or counterclockwise, on some even 135 degrees! But this is never the case with the lowest class.

      Some of them are silver and those have IKOM hallmarks! So they must be converted Orders of Military Merits of the previous Yugoslavia.

      Is there perhaps a list of Serbian recipients of British decorations?

      I did a little research online, now I can answer my own question, THERE IS!  :)

      http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C10984821#imageViewerLink

       

      British decorations awarded to the following Allied armies: Belgium, China, Czechoslovakia, Egypt, France, Greece, Italy, Japan, Montenegro, Nepal, Portugal, Roumania, Russia, SERBIA, Siam, USA

       

      Serbia starts from page 709.

       

      I apologize for going off-topic but I was very pleased to finally find list with my ancestor's name, DSO & CB recipient  :)

      PS take a look at Karađorđe, looks like enameled soldiers' cross!

      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".
