    Supposedly Belgian and WW2 ...


    Recommended Posts

    Hello Gents,

    Would appreciate an ID on this one : no medal appears to be associated with it and it is worn as a ribbon only "decoration" :

    Cheers,

    Hendrik

    Now that's a strange one Hendrik... haven't ever seen anything Belgian that even remotely looked like it.

    Completely non-official of course but it bugs me not to know with any certainty what it is :blush:

    Hello Hendrik,

    I hate to answer with another question, but I have a mini with the same ribbon colour and a skull in the middle of the medaillon. Would this be the medal of your service ribbon???? Did you have an aswer from Loek?

    kind regards,

    Jef

    Hello Jef,

    So there is a medal/cross associated with this after all ! Great to see it ... I never got an answer from Loek on this so I'll now send him your picture. Maybe his penny will drop this time.

    Cheers,

    Hendrik

    I have a Belgian medal which might also be the one that should go with it, I have no idea which one of the medals does, the one from Jef or mine, perhaps they are from the same organastion.

    hello fellow collectors , just found this site and i will help you with some information .

    all the medals and ribbons are connected with each other and are from a WW2 organisation named FRONT UNIQUE - EENHEIDSFRONT

    this was a WW2 resistance group but mainly they made secret papers and secret newspapers ( clandestine press ) .

    i have some of them in my collection .

    Hi Roeland,

    Only seen this one with the 1940-1945 clasp, it's The Cross of the Clandestine Press Section of the Organization "Front Unique-Eenheidsfront"

    I have seen skulls attached on the ribbons of belgian medals of a resistance group.

    Only one group seem to do that most likely the group mentioned above;

    Hi Lion,

    Cross of the ''Federation of the Resistance of the Ardennes'' with skull.

    Regards Eddie

    Hi Lion,

    Cross of the ''Federation of the Resistance of the Ardennes'' with skull.

    Regards Eddie

    Now you mention the name, I remember it. The name is correct

    So there are at least two resistance groups with skulls on the ribbons of their medals

    Front Unique - Eenheidsfront and

    Federation of the Resistance of the Ardennes
