            Possibility??

            I'm not 100% certain, but this image looks like it has the Turkish War Medal. I hope you collectors will be able to give it a or I've enlarged and boxed the area that I think is the TWM.


            The officer in question is Captain Georg Ludwig Ritter von Trapp. Yes, THAT von Trapp!

            Image from this link
            I do not see the TWM listed on his wiki page; what is listed are:
            • Knight's Cross of the Military Order of Maria Theresa (1924)
            • Knight's Cross of the Order of Leopold
            • Military Merit Cross
            • 1898 Jubilee Medal
            • 1908 Jubilee Cross
            • War Medal 1914–1918 with swords
            • Long Service Cross (18 years)
            • Iron Cross First Class (German Empire)

            If, in fact, Captain Ritter von Trapp did receive the TWM .... that would be something you could sing about!
