paul wood Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 does anyone have any idea what the third medal in the group is and when it was instituted and what the award criteria was.All the best,
Kev in Deva Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 IMHO its a Polish Medal, the ribbon colours are those of Poland, but I have nothing official to back it up, any details on the rear? Kevin in Deva.
paul wood Posted March 20, 2014 Author Posted March 20, 2014 Thanks Kevin, I have trawled the Polish sites but without any joy.I will see if anything is on the reverse.Paul
Herman Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 British, French, Polish and three Belgian medals. Quite a collection. I think perhaps for someone who helped Allied pilots escaping to freedom?? Never saw the Polish medal though. Herman
utopis Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 (edited) Hi Paul, yes it's Polish. Exile Government, Odznaka pamiatkowa POW, or in English Memorial badge of POW. Pow stands for Polska Organizacja Wojskowa - "Polish Military Organization". Post WWII, obviously. Edited March 20, 2014 by utopis
paul wood Posted March 21, 2014 Author Posted March 21, 2014 Utopis thank you so much for your assistance. The collector who has this group will be delighted with the information.Paul
