BalkanCollector Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Such a nice group of awards. Could you possibly write the names of the medals? All I know is that these are Italian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilja559 Posted January 13, 2020 Author Share Posted January 13, 2020 Military Order of Savoy, Order of Saints Mauritius and Lazarus, Order of the Crown of Italy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurentius Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 James Austin Domage does not sound very Italian, are there no other decorations or miniatures? With such a name I would be inclined to think that he is English or American. All awards seem to have been bestowed during the reign of Victor Emmanuel II. Kind regards, Laurentius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elmar Lang Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 A nice group of awards. It's a pity that the award document to the Military Order of Savoy is not present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There seems to be some variation in what he called himself: sometimes James, sometimes Jonas - and then not always as his first name.

Trooper_D Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 (edited) More here from Burke's A genealogical and heraldic history of the landed gentry of Great Britain & Ireland (1906) I suspect that he volunteered to serve with Garibaldi, as suggested by the reference you found, ilja559. In any event, the 1911 UK census shows that his son John was born in Sorrento in 1866. Edited January 15, 2020 by Trooper_D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
