Ed_Haynes Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 (edited) There were more than a few Serbian awards to Indians during WWI, and I wouldn't characterise them as rare (many more than the Belgian awards, for example, though fewer than the Russian ones).Excerpted from http://sagongs.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=242 ---Serbian awards to Indian forces in WWIOrden Beli Orao / Order of the White Eagle - 4th class with swords (the medal)Lieutenant-Colonel Kanwar Jeoraj Singh, Bikaner Camel Corps - AO 534 of 1917Regimentdar (Lt-Col) Chamray Urs, Mysore IS LancersColonel Nand Singh, Sardar Bahadur, Patiala IS Lancers - AO 534 of 1917Karajordjeva Zvezda / Order of Karageorge - 4th class with swords (the medal)Subadar Sultan, 1st KGO SappersSubadar-Major Gurmukh Singh, 36th SikhsMajor Ishar Singh, 2nd Patiala IS Infantry - AO 534 of 1917Orden Beli Orao / Order of the White Eagle - 5th class with swords (the medal)Subadar Daya Singh, 30th Mountain Battery - AO 534 of 1917Subadar Yakhudin, 1st KGO S&M - AO 534 of 1917Subadar Michael, Bahadur, 2nd QVO S&M - AO 534 of 1917Subadar Tika Khan, 58th Rifles - AO 534 of 1917Subadar-Major Bhim Singh Thala, IOM, 2/3rd GR - AO 534 of 1917Jemadar Naine Lama, 2/7th GR - AO 534 of 1917Major Pooran Singh, Alwar IS InfantryCaptain Krishna Rao Kanhoji Rao Dalvi, 4th Gwalior IS Infantry - AO 534 of 1917Ressadar Sheikh Hamid, 1st Hyderabad IS LancersJemadar Balagaly Puttayjuirs Krishne Urs, Mysore IS Lancers - AO 534 of 1917Karadjoedjeva Zvezda / Cross of Karageorge - 1st class with swords (the medal)2055 Lance Dafadar Khazan Singh, 4th Cavalry - AO 534 of 19173668 Dafadar Inder Singh, 7th Lancers - AO 534 of 1917764 Naik Sawan Singh, 1st KGO S&M - AO 534 of 19172760 Havildar Krishnasami, 2nd QVO S&M - AO 534 of 19173167 Havildar Chandar Singh, 3rd S&M - AO 534 of 19172688 Havildar Ujala, 6th Light Infantry - AO 534 of 1917927 Naik Nand Singh, 12th Pioneers - AO 534 of 19174584 Havildar Teja Singh, 1/23 Pioneers - AO 534 of 19171740 Havildar Mangal Singh, 34th Pioneers - AO 534 of 19174439 Sepoy Atma Singh, 36th Sikhs - AO 534 of 191729 Havildar Piaroo, 1/67th Punjabis - AO 534 of 19171443 Sepot (L/Nk) Kesar Singh, 82nd Punjabis - AO 534 of 19171282 Havildar Sobha Singh, 90th Punjabis - AO 534 of 19172461 Havildar Sawal Ram, 102nd Grenadiers - AO 534 of 19171813 Havildar Lal Bahadur Gurung, 2/3rd GR - AO 534 of 1917798 1st Class Sub-Assistant Surgeon Rawail Singh, ISMD (attd.

Ed_Haynes Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Somebody have photo of General Pershing with awards ?I have seen one somewhere. Let me look.Pershing's medals are at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC. I once had a chance to play with them, decades ago. They are not on display at present, as there is no preceived interest. When the Museum of National History is refurbished (a process starting soon), there is some distant hope that some of their medals may go on display (again). They also have the McKay Collection (think: Ney's Order of the Three Fleece).My father met Pershing when he (my father) was 10 years old. He was impressed, but did not care one bit about his medals (10-year olds!!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orden_master Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Hello Dave, Hello Igornice commander of Danilo, verry well preserved. Most Montenegrin orders are pretty worn as it is told that a decorated Montenegrin takes off his orders by the end of the day and puts them to his pyjama ! Looking at the pictures without looking at the punch marks I would say that this is most probably a Austrian (Vincent Mayer&sons) work. French producers, mainly Arthus Bertrand have not made any punchmarks on the suspension loop.Best regardsMilanHere is my Order of Danilo I, Commander's Cross: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
