Chris Boonzaier Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 Thats a nice little something :-) Can anyone guess the unit from the combination?
Brunswick Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 One of the most pleasing little groups I've seen for a while - nice combination - well done Brunswick
Dave Danner Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 Unit is probably not identifiable at this point. Probably a medical officer, like a Stabsarzt or Stabsvet. Possibly a Beamter in the Etappe like a Post- or Telegraphinspektor or Intendanturrat. These were the typical recipients of the Franz Joseph Orden on the ribbon of the Bravery Medal.
dond Posted May 11, 2014 Author Posted May 11, 2014 Thanks for the comments guys. Dave, thanks for the info. I figured it was a medical officer of some sort when I first saw it.
Paul R Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 The second to last is Bulgarian, right? It looks like a very high order. It looks as if he spent a lot of time abroad.
dond Posted May 11, 2014 Author Posted May 11, 2014 I believe it is the Bulgarian Military Merit Order 4th Class with Crown.
922F Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 I believe it is the Bulgarian Military Merit Order 4th Class with Crown. Correct--different in that it is mounted on a Bravery Order ribbon [signifying direct action war service] rather than the usual ribbon [for military merit] though the badge lacks a [war service] wreath. Suspect whomever mounted it simply used 'on-hand' ribbon stock. That this badge lacks the wreath buttresses a medical or other non-direct combat officer recipient theory. A very fine bar!!
