Group with 3 medals of bravery

Tal Inbar · 04-16-2008, 01:49 PM

Is on sale at ebay. I met veterans with 2 medals, but 3?

Auke · 04-16-2008, 02:57 PM

There were also servicemen with 4 or even 5 Medals for Bravery:

Tal,

As Auke mentioned, it is theoretically possible. In this case, I am not overly keen on the handwriting. Only archive research could confirm if these medals genuinely belong together or not.

No Vog (or J)?, No Defense of or Capture of? Fishy, I'd say.
Too bad, too; a legit 3xBM bar would be quite the treat.

I've seen several medals bars with wartime stuff on them with VoG missing. Maybe it's like in the US Army where some soldiers choose to wear a shortened rack with what they are proudest of or what they have on hand. Maybe Ole Boy lost his VoG, and used what he had on hand? I guess only an award card will tell...

Am I right to say that the serial numbers are too high for this group to be legit. There are no BM with 6 digit numbers, neither one in the "1.000.000". I guess the guy should have received a Red Star or a Glory later on during the war instead of 3 BMs.
