Re: Czechoslovak General's Uniform Question
Actually, from what I know, they were supposed to be worn in the chronological order - so the first awarded goes first, the second goes second... So even a highest order's ribbon may be the last on the rack.
Not sure whythey decided to doit that way, but a friend of mine who collects czechoslovak uniforms, says it's always a problem, especially if the officer was awarded foreign medals as well. I am afraid it may be a problem to identifythe general. First thing to do would be to identify the timeframe - the uniform may have the stamp with production date. Than we just have to find out how many lt.-generals were there in the C'SLA a year or two afterwards, locate their photographs and compare the ribbons. Even if the man wears less ribbons on the picture, their order will remain unique to this particular recipient. The only probem is that I have absolutely no idea as to where to look for the list of C'SLA generals, not to mention their photographs. The best way may be to ask on czech militaryhistory forums. |
