Hi Guys, I have some more medals that have defeated me in terms of identification.
Anyone know what these are?

Many thanks

The five-towered building which appears on both medals is Angkor Wat, the badge of Cambodia. The symbol on the all-red medal is the symbol for the People's Republic of Kampuchea, the Vietnamese-backed regime dating from 1979 to 1989. The Script is the version of Khmer used in Cambodia. I would assume they are both Cambodian medals dating from that time period.

The red: Cambodian National Defense Medal (1981-1994) http://www.omsa.org/photopost/showp...ize=big&cat=
