Unknown ribbon bar

[Free Belgian army]

Hello,

I was redirected here, I bought a lot of militaria and in it was this ribbon bar. I have been told it is Polish.

Can someone ID the medals?

Thanks!

Hello Free Belgian army,

1) Wound Ribbon with 1 Star

2) Order Polonia Restituta

3) Gold Cross of Merit with Bar

4) Silver Medal for Merit on the Battlefield

5) Warsaw Medal

6) Oder, Neisse and Baltic Medal

7) Victory and Freedom Medal

8) Armed Forces Long Service Award Gold for 15 Years service

9) Armed Forces Long Service Award Silver for 10 Years service

10) Armed Forces Long Service Award Bronze for 5 Years service

11) Not identified

12) Berlin Medal

13) Bronze Defence Service Medal.

Hope that this help you, Free Belgian army, if you are thinking about collecting ribbons then a good reference book is "Ribbons of Orders, Decorations and Medals by the late Guido Rosignoli, Pulished by Blandford Press, published in 1976.

isbn (International Standard Book Number) : 0713707755

Use the above if enquiring at your local Library.

Thank you all

@Andrzej, I am not collecting ribbons, it came with a lot of British and Belgian insignia.

If anyone is interested sent me a PM, I will not keep this as it does not fit in my collection.
