Medal Notes and Questions
Localized names included for English translations like Italy's Bronze Medal for Military Valour (Medaglia di bronzo al Valore Militare) but what about medals that are commonly known by their non-English name i.e. Croix de Guerre. (French: Croix de guerre)
When the normalized name of an award is entered as Unclear, this indicates that I have encountered a problem in the identification process, an explanation of which can be found in the notes section.
I cannot figure out the Romanian phrasing for 1st class for the Military Virtue Medal (Medalia Virtutea Militară)
Note: Although it is not part of the proper name in the case of several medals I have kept the country identifies in the normalized names to distinguish between medals of the same name awarded by different countries i.e. Belgium and France both have Croix de guerre medals.
Should titles be included in the Medals Section? I.e. Duke of Jassy which was awarded to Honourary Lieutenant Colonel Joseph Whiteside Boyle.
- Also have stripes, mentions etc.
When entering Orders, should we distinguish between ranks?
