IVB Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 Hello!One question about medal called "Mukti Taraka". What its correct name in English and award criteria? At the Antonio ribbon's website this medal named "Campaign Star", but literally translation from Bengali is "Star of Freedom" or "Star of Liberation".By the way, this topic http://medalcollectors.com/forum/showthrea...mp;pagenumber=1 contains many photos of Bangladesh awards. Thanks for Brian!Regards, IVB.
Ed_Haynes Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 I suspect it has no "correct name" in English. Why would it need one? No one I know has seen the instituting notifications in the Gazette of Bangladesh, if indeed there is one.The best we can do is a clumsy translation of some fairlyt inexact Bengali (or so my Bengali-speaking friends tell me).

heusy68 Posted May 25, 2013 Posted May 25, 2013 It seems there is a decoration called Order of Friendship (awarded in 2012 to Prince Alwaleed bin Talal bin Abdul Aziz al Saud. Hard to see, but it seems to be a neck medal..... emmanuel
peter monahan Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 One can certainly see the Indian Army influence in these designs but they are quite attractive, IMHO. The Police Medal and Silver Jubilee don't move me, but the Mukti Taraka andf Bir Protik are very nice pieces. ilja559, where di you find the illustrations, please? Peter
