svapr Posted June 1, 2024 Posted June 1, 2024 Hello, can you tell me what kind of medal it was? Awarded in 1946. Name of Marcel Vandervauwera. Medal diameter 70 mm. See photo. 2
Jef Posted June 1, 2024 Posted June 1, 2024 Dear SVAPR, The frontside shows: " Mouvement National Royaliste" (MNR) which is a Belgian WWII resistance group, active in Brussels area and Flanders. It's dutch name was Nationale Koningsgezinde Beweging or NKB. This is a non wearable commemoration medal given by the veteran association. I know the NKB/MNR had at least 7 wearable medals, I never saw this one. Frontside and revers shows also "Brigade De Zuen". This must be a subdivision of the NKB/MNR. I don't find info about that group, sorry. I hope someone else does. Kind regards from Belgium, jef 1
