MichaW Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 Hello, I get this medal group with the following medals: Order of the British Empire Queens South Africa Medal with five bars South Africa 1900, South Africa 1901, Transvaal, Orange Free State, Cape Colony, 1914 Star War Medal Victory Medal Khedive StarOttoman Medjidje Order Do you think we had the possibility to get the name of the owner? greetings from Germany Michael
paddywhack Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 Nice mini set but sadly it unlikely youl get a name though I'd love to proven wrong! !!
MichaW Posted September 16, 2014 Author Posted September 16, 2014 Hello, exist a list of all foreign medals which was awarded to british troops? greetings Michael
paddywhack Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 There's the london gazette but you have to see who was awarded the Ottoman Medjidje Order and the OBE who was also in the boar war and ww1 it would be a huge job with no guarantee youl get it down to one name! Also the london gazette is a PAIN to use!!!
paul wood Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 interesting the fact he has the Khedive's star but not the Egypt medal would suggest he was at some time attached to the Egyptian Army but alas it is quite a common combination for them and it is very unlikely you would be able to narrow it down to one man.Paul
Paul R Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 Now that is a long career of expeditionary service. For these awards, what rank fits?
