    1. Also notice the difference in the border at the back. The R-marks are clearly visible.
    2. Hi there: Below three Riemer-version Victory Medals. Note that each ball suspension is different. More pictures will follow tomorrow with better light. Any idea? Best regards, GM1
    3. It is an award from the "Union Royale des Croix de Guerre Belges" (Royal Union of Belgian War Crosses) UNION ROYALE DES CROIX DE GUERRE BELGES Président: Julien VAN CAUWELAERT Avenue L. Jasmin 61 bte.1 B 1150 BRUXELLES A link to an award: http://www.unc66.fr/le-president-de-la-section-de-saint-hippolyte-honore-en-belgique/
    4. Definitely a non-official award. Maybe from an association of holders of the War Cross? GM1
    5. Difficult to see, but between 5 and 6 o´clock there is the name of the sculpture, Paul Dubois. Best regards, GM1
    6. Hi Lambert: The Red Cross is not allowed on the Victory Medal, but indeed can be worn on the Conmemorative Medal of the War 1914-1918. Best regards, GM1
    7. Hi Rob, I can confirm that there is a faint Paul DUBOIS inscription. Pictures will follow. Thanks a lot for the useful information! Best regards, GM1
    8. Actually he had 1 wounded chevron and 5 front service chevrons. An injury in the eye due to the explosion of a granate. Best regards. GM1
    9. I have a copy of his complete military history. A copy of his awards/ The Victory medal The Conmemorative medal of the Great War The Ijzer medal The War Cross with palm for long presence. The Knight Cross of the Crown Order The Fire Cross. Hope you like it! GM1
    10. Thank you very much for the additional information Paul! Best regards. GM1
    11. Thanks a lot Paul for your information! If awarded to participants of the African Campaign, this means that the number of medals is rather scarce also? I´m very happy that they have ended up in my collection . Best regards, GM1
    12. Hi there: I have the following table medals, but I can´t find any information about them. There is a silver and a bronze version. Both a signed Fr. Huygelen and the silver one has Fonson stamped. Diameter is 90mm and weight about 450 g each. Any information is more than welcome! The adverse holds the inscription 1914 CONGO 1918
    13. The Leisek without LA in the anverse: The Leisek with LA in the anverse:
    14. The LA-mark on the anverse: The differences of the suspension: GM1
    15. Thanks Jean-Michel for the correction: A picture of the French version.
    16. Here is my collection of Belgian Victory Medals: Upper row: Chez made models: first three by Alexander Leisek and the fourth by Riemer. Even so, the suspension on the Leisek exemplars are two different models. The first one bears the LA mark also in the laurel wreath. The other two don't have the LA mark on the adverse, but yes on the reverse. Lower row: First and fourth medal: normal Dubois model, second with no reverse, third with the "bronze" and "JC" marking. Can someone help me with the Lasso classification of these medals? I still do not have the book Best regards, GM1 P.D. More pictures with details will follow.
    17. What kind of medal is the guilded one below the YSER-medal, on the right of the Volunteersmedal? Best regards, GM1
    18. As promised, the knight Order Leopold II with golden stripe. Any remarks more than welcome! Best regards, GM1
