Sebastian,
thanks very much for the translation, I'm looking forward to the second instalment. :)
So the main difference in the award critaria was that following the proposal of General Rola-Zymierski, Commander-in-chief of People's Army it was also awarded for clandestine operations, that's interesting. I wonder why she doesn't give the actual date of November 8th, 1943 as the day of institution.
With regards to the 1st Class being solid Gold, I was always under the impression that it was Gold plated Silver but the materials used will no doubt be in Sebastians second part.
There is also a Book dedicated to this award, I'll have to watch out for this one, maybe one of you guys have it already?
Eddie.
