Here is my new Greece ribbon bar, what arrived today. What device I am missing there?

Hi Timo,

I would say you're missing the star on that one. Here's a reference link for you:

Hello,

You are NOT missing any stars. You are missing two small metallic crowns, bronze, silver or gilt, depending on the class of the War Cross.

The group consists of:

-Gold Cross of Valor

-Commander of the Order of George I

-Silver Cross of George I with swords

-Gold Cross of George I with swords

-War Cross 1940 with 2 devices

-Outstanding Acts medal 1940 2nd type

-Military Merit medal, 3rd class

-1940-41 operations medal

I should also recommend that the 3rd award should be 4th and vice versa, plus that the 3rd award's swords should have been silver, I think.

What about this bar that Timo shows on the first page?

Should the Medal for Military Merit have the small wreath on it, or should it be a palm device? Kevin posted a page out of a printed reference on Greeks awards (different thread) and according to that, the palm is the appropriate device for ribbon bars. Could this small wreath actually belong to a "mini" medal?

Trying to learn!

The palm is what normally goes to this one, but we sometimes see all kinds of variations. It could also fit a miniature medal. Again, the Order of Redeemer should come first.
