Shots Dave Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Good morning all I have recently seen the attached medal. Can anyone provide me with any information, please? The reverse is blank except an inscribed number. I am presuming a Belgian Resistance Association medal? Kind regards Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VC89 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 (edited) I found it on an other, french, forum http://www.passionmilitaria.com/t110908-medaille-du-groupe-athos (Stuka you beat me by a minute :)) It's a medal from the Athos group (a Belgian resistance group).

Stuka f Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 It is the same forum, just a other topic. I am helping the moderation on that forum ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shots Dave Posted January 14, 2017 Author Share Posted January 14, 2017 Many thanks Stuka f and VC89 for your help. It is not a group I had seen any mention of before. If either of you are aware of a site dedicated to Resistance medals I would be really interested in it. Cheers again. Dave . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you (ever) find one you may let me know :). You find some medals on one website, a few others on an other website, forums, ... . There are just so many unofficial medals in Belgium that it is very hard (or even impossible) to make such a website. There was once a website with a lot of them but he quitted because many of the information and pictures were used without his approval. He still (or at least a few years ago) awnsered questions by e-mail. See his website: http://users.skynet.be/belgian.medals/index.html. Maybe he can help you.

Shots Dave Posted January 14, 2017 Author Share Posted January 14, 2017 Vincent I have previously tried to contact Loek with no success I am afraid. I even only recently asked Hendrik if he had any contact details for him but he didn't have. Even Hendrik's amazing site has disappeared for the moment at least. If I do find anything I will let you know. Dracomedals has a variety of medals with descriptions I have used in the past. Best wishes Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussie Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 This is the medal for the Organisation "Athos" which was involved in pure intelligence gathering for transmission to London I have a number of similar medals e.g. Group "D" . I would be keen to obtain an example of this medal. my email address is maher@archaeologist.com Robert Maher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
