Ed_Haynes Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 (edited) I was going through some old issues of the JOMSA and ran across an interesting article by Jeffrey Calufield in the May 1988 issue on these medals.An interesting piecture was included, which I add here. Nice group!Even nicer in that his WWI Victory medal was officially numbered. Only 100 or so were numbered.Just as eye-candy . . . .

Piramida Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Unfortunately the author of the article is wrong about the last medal. He cited it as the Milosh Obilich Medal medal from Montengro, while it's actually Montenegro's Silver Bravery Medal. I believe that the only American to receive the Milosh Obilich in WWI was Pershing.Ivan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Cole Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I thought it was a silver bravery medal, but the ribbon looked different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
