Republic of Cuba A Cuban Veterans' mystery badges

[Ulsterman]

Anyone know what the badges on the left side are?

Interesting medals too.

Hi Ulsterman,

The top row are MNR-Nationalist Revolutionary Movement badges, the bottom left badge as you look is a Blood Donor badge.

Bottom right can't tell right now.

:Cat-Scratch: How CURRENT is this-- since the leathery Sergeant isn't wearing any of the official Jubilee 1976+ medals?

Interesting combination and suggestive that either precedence regulations as we understand them are wrong, or nobody anywhere pays the slightest attention to The Rules.

Top row of ribbon medals =

Medal for the Struggle Against "Bandits," Medal for the defenders at the Bay of Pigs 1961, Medal for Distinction in Preparation for Defense (way out of place), and Medal of Raul Gomez Garcia (culture)

Second row off ribbon medals =

Medal of 28th September, Medal for National Culture

then some badge.

Very interesting combination of awards!

And a great example of a Real Comrade's GROUP. :jumping:

I believe it's only @ 3-4 years old. A Giron battle veteran and possibly some sort of retired school teacher as well I suspect.

Hmmm.... so not eligible for the jubilees... or chose NOT to festoon himself with another row of "I'm still breathing" clutter?
