Doesn't anyone find the number of these awards (according to Wikipedia - which I still have yet to trust as a valid source ;)) rather odd? If of the 1322 awarded in Yugoslavia, 22 were to foreigners, that leaves a very round 1300 awarded to citizens. It just strikes me as unusual that precisely 1300 - not 1301, etc. - were awarded. It makes me question the criteria.

Then again, if impalement or being buried alive is part of that criteria, then I'll go with the "People's Coward" variation, thank you very much.:D

At the same time, it is a very interesting Order from a region with a very interesting history. So Simon, please do share anything you might dig up.:thumbsup

I find this topic very interesting.
i see there are a lot of suicides... was the suicide posthumous of ordination or was suicide considered under certain cirustances as an heroic act?
