The Hungarian War Commemorative Medal

[HPL2008]

Just in is this nice six-place ribbon bar, which also has the non-combatant ribbons for the Hungarian and Bulgarian medal. Apparently, the bar was worn by a medic, physician or even nurse of the German Red Cross.

Obverse view, showing its age with wear, patina, stains and fading from sunlight exposure, the latter being particularly heavy on the ribbon for the Bulgarian medal:



The reverse has aged a bit better:



The decorations are, from left to right:

• Ehrenkreuz für Kriegsteilnehmer [Honor Cross for Participants in the War] (Germany)
• Rote-Kreuz-Medaille 2. Klasse [Red Cross Medal 2nd Class] (Prussia)
• Rote-Kreuz-Medaille 3. Klasse [Red Cross Medal 3rd Class] (Prussia)
• Kriegserinnerungsmedaille [War Commemorative Medal] (Austria)
• Magyar Háborús Emlékérem [Hungarian War Commemorative Medal] (Hungary)
• Медаль за участие в Европейской войне [War Commemorative Medal] (Bulgaria)
