Linasl Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Greetings. I have a medal which I am quite sure is Ukrainian. It is dated 1914. Please see photos. Is this the FIRST version of the Galician Army Cross, or is this something else? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Linas PS: if you need higher resolution photos, please let me know and I will e-mail them to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linasl Posted March 30, 2010 Author Share Posted March 30, 2010 Greetings. Thank you for your input. But are you sure it is 1918? On the cross, at bottom, it states "1914". Please let me know. Take care. Linas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linasl Posted March 31, 2010 Author Share Posted March 31, 2010 Hello. Thanks for the input mm. Si is this the "Bukovinian Cross of Ukrainian Sechevy Riflemen - 1918 " dated 1914? I ask because you mention the "Ukrainian Legion". Is this a group that was formed and issued this medal? Who was the "Legion" aligned with? Please let me know. Thank you.
