tjnier Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 I obtained this 1950 photograph from a dealer in Argentina. Some his medals are too obscure to be examined under a lens, but most of them can be identified. The top row of 3 consists of an unknown cross, a War Merit Cross, and a WW! Commemorative medal with two clasps. The second row of 4 contains a WW1 Victory meda, a United Italy medal, an obscured medal, and a very prominent Third Army cross. The bottom row has only one obscured medal. The unknown cross in the 1st row reminds me of the Order of St.John of Jerusalem. Its member medal has a black ribbon.
