Veltro Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Dear all, I hope someone can identify these modern medals for me. They were in a Belgian lot, So I think they are, although I am not sure. Medal 1: Text “Pro Patria”. Reverse is flat. Medal 2: Text Jusqu’au bout Premier Toujours Reverse 1914-1918 / 1940-1945 with Adrian helmet Medal 3: see pictures. I suspect this one to be French. School related? Finally a cap badge. No clue on this one except it came with the other items. I hope someone can help. Christiaan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VC89 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Must be indeed, as Jef said, a non-official medal from a veteransorganisation of the 1st (Infantry) Regiment of the Line. The medal depicts their cap badge. Do you have a picture of the reverse of the medal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jef Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Found this medal here as an associative French medal::https://semon.fr/LES ASSOCIATIVES_3.htm Jef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veltro Posted February 25 Author Share Posted February 25 Wow, thanks. I really couldn't find these. With the first above I used the term COV instead of CVO which brought me nowhere ofcourse. How should I understand "associative medal" in this case? Organisation connected to the glorification of the Motherland?

Jef Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Christiaan, I should say "a medal awarded by a patriotic association"? the medaillion says "Pro Patria" Jef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
