    Recipients of Order of Takovo a.o.


    Recommended Posts

    Hello gentlemen,

    Hello,
    As a lover for history and phaleristics, I’m interested to know if there were any recipients of the Cross of Takovo to foreigners, and if there were given order of the White Eagle and St-Sava before WW1 to Belgians people.
    Can you help me?
    Thx,

    Number of foreigners awarded with the Order of the Cross of Takovo is not that small. I believe that first foreign recipients were Russian volunteers during War for Liberation and Independence 1876-77-78. General Mikhail Chernyayev was the first one who received first class cross from 1876 when it was organized as a two class order. Photo of the general the wearing the order from 1877 (1876 type replaced).

    Unfortunately I can't think of any Belgian recipients of Serbian decorations from pre-WW1 period. But for example Albert I was one of the rare recipients of the Order of the Star of Karađorđe with Swords 1st class.
