AdrianC Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Would appreciate advice on confirming the award of a GRAND OFFICER NATIONAL ORDER OF MERIT recipient Admiral FERNANDO EDUARDO PINTO de ORNELAS e VASCONCELOS Portuguese Navy. Is there an official government publication that details awards? or an official archive I could contact? Any help or advice would be appreciated.Adrian
Veteran Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 Hello Adrian, There is, unfortunately, no official list of awards to foreigners (non-French nationals).The style of the breast star indicates that the award was an early one (1964-1980). Your best bet would be to write to the French Military attache in Lisbon. He might have the necessary archives available.The alternative would be to write to the French Foreign Office who certainly have the archives, but no obligation to answer....I sincerely hope this information will help you. It would be nice of you to report here the result of your possible inquieries.Veteran
AdrianC Posted October 30, 2015 Author Posted October 30, 2015 VeteranThank you for your response. I will contact the French Foreign Office as suggested. I will certainly post any additional information I receive.Adrian
