Against my better judgement to come back but the last award of that medal was for Timor in 1942.

John915  I am sticking with the Oman Peace Medal.

It is with great difficulty I share with you that in the early hours of 07 August 2021, Maximilian passed away unexpectedly but peacefully.

With deep sadness,

Good evening,

Much easier to see it all in English https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decorations_and_medals_of_the_Netherlands

The one you mention KG is the second on my post. It's the Dutch equivalent to our GSM.

See my last post.

Back again,

I see what you mean maxD, that medal was instituted by Sultan Qaboos in 1976. It could go with the GSM.

We don't know when the Padre served but a look at the label in the back of the jacket will give us a manufacturing date. Standard British/NATO gobbledegook of course.

PS, he may even have put his name in the space provided. :o :o :o :o :o

The ribbon in your photo comes up as white/green/white. Are you saying that in reality it is yellow/green/yellow?

Ruskie...

Good work from the start!!!

I've learned a lot reading this thread but mainly that I must be colour blind  :o

The pic I looked at on Reply #12.....

Green/Purple/Green & White/Green/White....I see no Gold/Yellow  ???

Thank you everyone for your input. I'm going to take the offending ribbon off as it seems to be confusing in the least.

If anyone wants it for research I'll happily post it to them.

There are no names or identification in the clothing. Just the ribbons and parachute wings stitched onto the right arm.
Pete.
