    ID needed of possible Serbian 1915 medal

    I've listed a medal under the "Communist" forum without any success. Maybe this is the better forum. Can anyone help to translate or ID this medal? I'm told it could be Serbian and not Russian as I originally thought.

    Any information gratefully received.

    Thanks

    Hello,
    it is not Serbian but Bulgarian medal.
    Commemorative medal of 9th Bulgarian "Pleven" division of commander general Vazov. They were situated in the Thessaloniki front in the area of Doiran city (now Macedonia) and repulsed many attacks of French and British army.
    The medal was awarded in 1920's to all living veterans of the 9th division.
    The obverse shows the bayoneting of an enemy on the front and the reverse list victorious battles of the 9th Division:
    Glogovica
    Drljnova Glava
    1915 Nish (large town in Eastern Serbia)
    Zlata
    Vulono Bardo
    Pristina (now capital of Kosovo)

    This is the first type of the medal. Here is the second type: http://www.ebay.com/itm/WWI-Bulgaria...-/120951423942
    Regards, Miro
