    9 Place Medal Bar

    Hi,

    This is a recent acquisition for my medal bar collection. I am hoping that it might be possible to identify the original owner due to the combination of awards. Any assistance appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

            Since he was a General surely we can did up a picture of him, hopefully wearing the bar.

              Don, not necessarily. Find pics of WW2 General is not easy and finding them wearing their medal bars is hard. It is more likely to find one of him with a ribbon bar. Of the 20+ medal bar that I have traced to the original owner only about 5 do I have pics of wearing decorations.
