erikscollectables Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I recently added an interesting Austro-Hungarian/Hungarian estate to my collection. In this group is also the St Alexander order 4th class. What could be the reason for a Hungarian officer to receive this order? Would it be linked to his WW1 service? Can these orders be researched at all? Here a photo of the paper and the order in the group. Regards, Erik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
922F Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 (edited) I cannot make out the Bulgarian language before/following his name in Bulgarian script indicating his status/profession--might be Major..Stefan Mislory..Royal Hungarian Army?? Date 1935 -- Perhaps awarded as a protocol decoration during a conference. The St. Alexander badge without swords [combat or non-combat service] equals civil merit so most likely not war related.

erikscollectables Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share Posted January 1, 2015 Hi 922F Yep he was Major Stefan (Istvan) Miklosy, he was a career officer from WW1 into WW2. No clue what he did at that time though to receive the order. Regards, Erik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
