If anybody has a picture of an older one,he's most welcome to post it here. Emmanuel

Paul R Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 Thank you for sharing your very focused collection with us. These medals are very beautiful and unique. I learned a lot from this post! Do you have any other Congo related medals or militaria?
heusy68 Posted May 12, 2013 Author Posted May 12, 2013 (edited) Hello Gentlemen, despite no information was found on this medal, at least it exist. Commemorative Medal for the 20th Anniversary of the Army (with date on reverse 1966-1986). But it's Africa, so do not try to seek for any logic....in 2011 they have instituted a Medal for the 50th Anniversary of the Armed Forces (with dates on reverse 1961-2011). http://www.sgg.cg/imageProvider.asp?private_resource=1116&fn=jo_2011_12.pdf By the way lets' keep in mind that year 1986 was an important date in Congo history (they got a new Consitution in 1986). So maybe that medal was instituted to reinforce armed forces cohesion. Emmanuel Edited May 12, 2013 by heusy68

The Medal of Honour is awarded twice yearly,on 1st of May (Labour Day) and on 28 November ( National Day ). The ratio must be 70 % of Bronze Medal,25 % of Silver Medal & 5 % of Gold Medal. The statutes state that the silver & the gold medal have to be worn with ribbon with rosette. I have never seen such ribbon. Emmanuel If the status of the Medal of Honor were always to be followed, the Medal of Honor 1st Class shall have a rosette on ribbon, however, this is rarely seen (at least in Europe).

heusy68 Posted June 10, 2020 Author Posted June 10, 2020 (edited) Hello Gentlemen, Doing some random research this afternoon, I fall on this photo from 2017 of General Division Guy Blanchard Okoî , Chief of Staff of Republic of Congo Armed Forces ( FAC ). On his first 2 row of awards, he's wearing Orders & Medals from Congo Republic. On the neck : Commandor of the Order of Merit. 1st Row (left to right) : Order of Merit Officer, Order of Merit Officer, Order of Merit Knight. 2nd Row (left to right) : National Order of Peace Officer, Military Valor Medal, and the 3rd one it's the first time I see it (ribbon green/yellow/red). It could be 50th anniversary of the Congolese Armed Forces Medal 2011, or Army Brotherhood Medal ?? 3rd Row : Legion of Honor Officer ( France ) , France National Order of Merit Knight , France Croix de la Valeur Militaire. 4th Row : UN Medal for UNAMIR Mission in Rwanda 1993-96, ??? , Maybe National Order of Peace Knight (not sure). Regards to all. Emmanuel Edited June 10, 2020 by heusy68
heusy68 Posted June 10, 2020 Author Posted June 10, 2020 (edited) The same General de Division Guy Blanchard Okoî , At another ceremony on 31 December 2019 (he's wearing the same medal, but on different sequence on 2rd row). The medal in the middle position of the 2nd row is unknown to me (ribbon green/yellow/red). As I know a Medal was instituted for the 50th Anniversary of the Congolese Armed Forces in 2011. Maybe it is, but it is just a supposition. Regards to all. Emmanuel Edited June 10, 2020 by heusy68
