Bobafett Posted March 28, 2016 Posted March 28, 2016 Looking for help identifying a couple of my grandfathers medals from WW2, he served on a B26 Marauder with the 9th army air force. I am familiar with the US medals, and i have identified the bottom left as a Belgian croix de guerre, the bottom middle eludes my knowledge as does the bottom right (which looks similar to a faded Order of Leopold II (Knights)? Thank you for your help! Sgt Griswold USMC.
Gunner 1 Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 (edited) Sgt. Griswold: The medal in the third image appears to be a knight of the Order of Leopold II on a British Military Cross ribbon. The cross in the middle of the second photo appears to be the New York State Conspicuous Service Cross. Edited March 29, 2016 by Gunner 1

The first idea, i.e. a faded blue and black ribbon for this knight class of the Order of Leopold II, is the correct one for me. Regards, Hendrik
