Bill's Belgian Medals

New Acquisitions

These two medals are an addition to my growing collection of Belgian lifesaving medals -

both were

awarded to members of the same family during the reign of Leopold 2. The

medal on the left is a gold

medal awarded to R.E.M. Bastin and the medal on the right to

C.E.M. Bastin.

These medals - ordinary medal, commander with neck ribbon and a chest badge -are

unknown to me and

appear to be from a veteran's organisation - the description was the

Order of the Lion?

Can anyone help me identify it?

This medal is the

gold 1st Class Cross

of the 1914-18 Civil

Decoration.
