Poland Poland Order of Virtuti Militari, 3rd Class

[Riley1965]

Here's a new arrival in my collection. I'll have all five classes by Fall.

The Polish Order of Virtuti Militari was established 200 years ago by King Stanislaw August Poniatowski. It is the highest military decoration awarded for gallantry above and beyond the call of duty. It is the equivalent of America's Medal of Honor or Britain's Victoria cross. It is awarded in 5 classes.
