Veltro Posted February 25 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
Jef Posted February 25 Posted February 25 (edited) Hello Christiaan, This one is a medal of the veteranorganisation of the 1st Infantry of the line. In dutch 1ste Linie Regiment. By the way, is a non official medal. . Edited February 25 by Jef
VC89 Posted February 25 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?
Veltro Posted February 25 Author Posted February 25 No problem being a non-official medal. A have a lot. As requested a picture of the reverse. Any thoughts on the others? Greetings, Christiaan
Jef Posted February 25 Posted February 25 (edited) according to this site it's a medal for teachers CVO . The abbreviation is Centrum Volwassenen Onderwijs https://universalmedals.hpage.com/belgium.html Jef Edited February 25 by Jef
Jef Posted February 25 Posted February 25 Found this medal here as an associative French medal::https://semon.fr/LES ASSOCIATIVES_3.htm Jef
Veltro Posted February 25 Author 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? Greetings, Christiaan
Jef Posted February 25 Posted February 25 Christiaan, I should say "a medal awarded by a patriotic association"? the medaillion says "Pro Patria" Jef
