The Medals Are :-
The Austro/Hungarian Medal for Bravery - The medal was instituted on the 14th April 1939 to be awarded to non-commissioned officers and other ranks for bravery on the field of battle.
The Fire Cross with Wreath Dated 1941 - The Medal was instituted on the 21st November 1941, with versions for frontline combatant soldiers (with swords between the arms of the cross), for frontline non-combatant soldiers (without swords), as in this example, and for home defence (without words or wreath). The medal was awarded to both Hungarian and German soldiers and this example would have been awarded in 1942 for a minimum of 3 months service in the front-line.
The Medal for the Liberation of Transylvania - The medal was instituted on the 1st October 1940 to mark the return of part of Transylvania to Hungary. At the end of World War I, Hungary lost almost three-quarters of its territory, amongst them many areas with large Hungarian populations, including Transylvania. In mid-1940, with Romania under pressure from the Soviet Union and Bulgaria, Hungary lodged a claim to Transylvania. Germany and Italy led arbitration at Vienna and on the 30th August Romania ceded approximately 43,500 square kilometres of territory and almost 2,400,000 people in northwest Transylvania to Hungary. The award was annulled after World War II and the territory returned to Romania. Mátyás Corvinus (1443-1490) was the son of John Hunyadi and reigned as King of Hungary from 1458 until his death. In 1479 to 1483 he retook Transylvania from the Ottoman Turks and is revered in Hungary as a national hero.
