ribbon bar research?
Hi all,
I picked up that lovely ribbon bar and I am just wondering is there any chance to trace the ribbon bar owner, based on the combination:  - 1914 Star - British War Medal - Victory Medal with the Mentioned in Despatches - Rumenia Order of the Crown (from 1881), Officer (Ordinul Coroana României) - French National Order Legion of Honour, Officer (Ordre national de la Légion d'honneur) I think that the combination is pretty unique. Especially last two awards make it hopefully researchable. My main question is it there an "easy" way to narrow down from the London Gazette a WW1 officer, who got MID and then twice again should be listed regards froeign awards. I especially feel like the Rumenian award is the "weirdest" to the British officer. Also rosette indicates Officer class and that mean around 1918-1930 that man hold at least a rank of Major (criteria to receive Officer class award). Kind Regards, Timo

Not the Order of the Crown. I haven't noticed a crown pin like that on any Belgian medal I've ever seen either. I think Eastern Europe might be more likely.

The last award on the set is Greece War Cross.

Yes, the 1940 version of the Greek War Cross.
