aubagne98 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Hi there, from a man who died in 1903 there is only one of twelve awards left. For five of six Prussian and Wuerttemberg meanwhile we found out that the regulations said that the award has to be returned. The man also got the Serbian Order of St. Sawa and Takovo. Does anybody know if there was a obligation of return for this order? Thanks. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogi Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 (edited) I've never heard of this "return to the state" for Serbian/Croatian/Montenegro/Yugoslavia and it is probably a recipient from another country. To my knowledge Serbia never had such a decree, and if they did have it, it definatley wasn't acted upon in all cases. I know a lot of Croatian/Serbian families that stillhave their families orders, some are still buried with the recipient, others were left with the family to pass on to future generations.At home in my city, the custom when the recipient died was to bury them with their orders/medals.P.S. It is St. Sava not St. Sawa Edited September 21, 2014 by Rogi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paja Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I agree with Rogi, when it comes to Serbia/Yugoslavia I believe that such obligation never existed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogi Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Depending on which country and if they let the recipient keep the diploma. Each recipient should receive a award doc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
