A superbly presented Great War Group that belonged to a long serving soldier and a defender of Liege. |
I assume, each of which is very special in its own way. I was informed that the family probably acquired the black pillow to lay on the coffin, first of one brother, and then of the other when his time came. The first group is very distinguished in that it comprises Officer grades of the Order of Leopold 1 (Military Division), Order of the Crown, Order of Leopold 2, A Croix de Guerre with one silver palm and 2 bronze - a total of 7 mentions in the Army Order of the day, three lions - 3 mentions in the Regimental Order of the day, a Croix de feu, Civil Decoration 1914-18 First Class, Victory medal, Commemorative Medal 1914-18, 100 Years Centenary of Belgian National Independence, and the Liege medal. The brother has a Knight of the Order of Leopold 1 (Military), Civil Decoration 1st Class, Resistance medal (WW2), Volunteer Medal WW1, Victory medal, Commemorative Medal 1914-18, Commemorative Medal with crossed swords WW2 and the Russian Ordre of St. George 4th Class for Bravery! A superb family grouping that I was understandably delighted to add to my own collection. |
A superb boxed World War 2 Group that belonged to Pierre Renis, a member of the armed resistance who was a political prisoner for 2 years. This group includes his death card. |
