Korean bravery awards to foreign veterans

[Herr General]

Does anyone have pictures of Korean bravery awards for the Korean war to non korean vets?

In my collection:

Korean Chungmu pre 1973 seen in last place of the bar.

Korean Order of Military Merit seen above (neck badge)

This is the same award only the version after 1973.

The veteran wrote to the Korean Embassy in the Netherlands and told that his Chungmu got lost and got the new award for free....

[Herr General]

No one? There must have been Korean bravery awards to foreign soldiers?

The Order of Military Merit was used for both Korean and foreign troops. During the Korean War the OMM was issued as both a combat and a noncombat decoration. The Original OMM was in four classes with only a number for each class. Late in 1950, each class was divided into three grades with the Gold Star, Silver Star and No Star attachment system, effectively giving a 12 class system. The designs for the planchets were changed in April, 1951 and a few months later, each class was given a name: Taeguk, Ulchi, Chungmu and Hwarang. In 1963, a fifth class was created and the star system was dropped. I hope this is of some help.
