cwdts Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 Regarding the Spanish African campaign medal bars. Has anyone ever seen or posses the battle bar for Fernando Poo?
Antonio Prieto Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 Sir The bar FERNANDO POO is a unnofficial bar for the 1912 Africa Medal Please see: http://coleccionesmilitares.com/medallas/texto/campafrica.htm For the Rif Campaign Medal only the following bars are officials: Campaña de Melilla 1909 sidi hamet el hach-gurugU quebdana taxdirt-hidum-zoco el had nador-zeluán-zoco el jemis atlaten peñOn-alhucemas Campaña del Kert 1911-1912 kert garet de beni bu yahí beni bu gafar beni sidel
cwdts Posted March 16, 2019 Author Posted March 16, 2019 Antonio, Thank you for your reply! In any reference that I have seen, nothing has listed Fernando Poo as a unauthorized bar, but it does make sense. I have checked out that link on numerous occasions, but still have not seen a picture of an actual Fernando Poo bar.
Antonio Prieto Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 In a next issue of the spanish Revista de Historia Militar (Journal of Military History), the article THE MEDAL OF AFRICA AND ITS VARIANTS by Francisco Javier HERNÁNDEZ NAVARRO and Antonio PRIETO BARRIO will be published with more details about this Fernando Poo (three images) and other bars
cwdts Posted March 29, 2019 Author Posted March 29, 2019 Do you think there's anyway possible that you could send me a link on where to purchase/get that journal? You can email me more information at cwdts1@gmail.com Thank you, Cheston Davis
