Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2133 Posts	Posted 05/20/2016 04:14 am The medal on the left has green, black, white and red so it might be worth considering countries with those colours (or some of them in their flags - see http://www.photius.com/flags/alphabetic_list.html. The medal on the right seems to have a crescent moon, so I would look at those countries that have a crescent moon on their coins. Also it has a large bird, probably an eagle so that may be a clue too. Edited by Pertinax 05/20/2016 09:27 am Report this Post to the Staff
Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2133 Posts	Posted 05/20/2016 04:21 am On that basis, I suspected the medal on the left is from Syria. It seems to be the Order of the Wounded instituted in 1953 for those "injured whilst acting in the service of the state".

Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2133 Posts	Posted 05/20/2016 04:27 am As the medal on the left is from Syria, the other may be from there, and it seems to be the Order of Military Merit - see http://www.medals.org.uk/syria/syria007.htm Report this Post to the Staff
