Gordy Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 The attached image shows a medal in the possessions of SAS Sergeant K Sturmey which has baffled me. It seems to depict the Star of David or is it from Palestine? To the best of my knowledge Ken didn't serve in that area but being in the 1st SAS it might have been a cloak & dagger operation. It may be its not a military medal at all. I've looked through many medal books but still have no answer to it's identity. Any help would be appreciated.
PKeating Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 Looks Masonic to me. I think we have a few Masons here who might be able to ID it for you.
Paul L Murphy Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 It is masonic. It is the insignia of the Order of the Secret Monitor. This is one of the appendant masonic degrees which masons can join after they become master masons.
Len Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 Hi There Ladybird helped me identify this medal. Look at my content and you will see a similar medal. Below is the answer I got from Ladybird. "The 'jewel' is from a Masonic order.... 'Order of the Secret Monitor' or often referred to as 'Brotherhood of David and Jonathan' This jewel is worn by 2nd degree members. " Regards Len van der Walt
Gordy Posted March 19, 2011 Author Posted March 19, 2011 Well what a site. Thanks so much for all your help. I've a friend who's a Mason and even he didn't identify it. I've been searching for the answer to this for months and within a few days you've solved it. Great!
Len Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 Only a pleasure! I have had the same experience. A lot of guys willing to help. Regards Len
