Shots Dave Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 This cross has 15 official clasps available with the relevant theatre of service upon it. I am afraid the Arnhem clasp is attached to the wrong ribbon and the Wilhelmshaven is pictured twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Were all Home Army members authorized this medal? I don't see it in any award groupings I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shots Dave Posted December 28, 2019 Author Share Posted December 28, 2019 Hi Paul This cross was a late award in 1989 to Polish Armed Forces in the West, i.e. those soldiers who fought alongside the Western Allies against the Axis forces.(Polish Forces in the East would have been those soldiers who fought with the Soviets). The Home Army was the Resistance movement in Poland itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
