Hello

I have a service record for an officer and have noticed he was a disability listed P.U.O.

Can anyone tell me what this stands for

Caz

Thought I would share a group that I have brought into my collection, it is a double OG III  with both awards given 10 days apart and as you can see the numbers are almost 47,000 apart as well the higher numbered OG III was given first

The 1st OG III was in the first instance recommended for a OGPW 1 so a big down grade for some reason

regards

Hello all

hello all

any help would be appreciated

Hello

I am looking to see if anyone can give any information on a St George cross 3rd class # 306.604

regards

Hello all

yes I fully understand all the points

the information I have listed comes from the the official record book of OG III issues up to 31.12.1945. This book shows to what front, army, region, district each OG III was issued to for awarding form number 01 to 530.200, the file contains 67 pages

In regards to reference in point 5 of all the OG III issued up to 31.12.1945 the 3,828 this is the balance of awards not actually awarded and carried over to the second volume record book starting 01.01.1946 to which almost another 500k would be added

I have attached a page from the official book (scan copy of course)

regards

Not sure if anyone will find this interesting or not, but thought I would share some info about the OG III which I find interesting

total OG III issued to fronts, units etc for awarding as 31.12.1945 - 503.240

highest number produced as 31.12.1945 - 530.200

last 3 OG III issued on  31.12.1945 - 517.643, 517.644, 82.234

total number of OG III issued / awarded as 31.12.1945 - 499.412

balance of OG III  not awarded / issued as 31.12.1945 - 3,828

regards

just wanted to share a OG III I have in my collected awarded to a recipient of the HSU

Regards

Hi Peter

thanks for that, first time I have seen such a "rank"

kind regards

Caz

in regards to the first star I can confirm 3rd class

I will try and post a reverse of the second class when I have scanned it

in regards to the star with the gilded center this was never issued officially, as all stars carried the same centers which where enameled or coloured never plain, the difference is the wording on the back

1st class is very hard to find, 3rd class is easier, 2nd also not common

 I am lucky enough to have 7 x 3rd class and 2 x 2nd class in my collection and there is sight variations between some of them

hope this helps

regards
