The Order of the 9th September 1944

</big>

<big>

Instituted on 14 September 1945, this order was awarded for services in connection with the 9 September 1944 uprising, for outstanding services in the establishment of the People's Republic of Bulgaria, and for bravery in action by officers and leaders of the People's Army. Two divisions were created, a Military and a Civil Division, each having three classes. The Military Division can be recognized by its insignia having crossed swords. Two types of the order exist : a screw-back type and a ribboned one. The central medallion depicts a Bulgarian patriot, Vasil Levski.

Slim,
In the post labeled ? the 4th badge from the left is Hungarian and is for 20 Yeasr service. In a red case for the military.

In the post labled hh these are two Hungarian awards. On the left is the Excellent Trade Workers Badge. The one on the right is the Commemorative Medal for Service to the Country in First Class. The priniting on the top of the award reads "For Service to the Fatherland". First instituted in 1956 the designataion was changed to "Merit Medal for Service to the Country" in 1964.

Regards,

Gordon
