This Macedonian-Bulgarian veteran was in the Bulgarian Army during the Balkan Wars as part of the "Macedonian-Adrianopolitan Volunteer Corps" (Македоно-одринско опълчение).

Attached is the cap badge of the "MOOP". It seems rather strange that this veteran would wear such a religiously decisive emblem during communist rule as the badge clearly depicts an imperial Bulgarian lion with a Christian banner trampling on the crescent of Islam.
