I simply described the medals awarded to my father-in-law, according to the pages that have his medal informatoin that I printed out from the site. For instance, my father-in-law's medals for 1940 came from page 126 of Gyalogsag -- Ornagyok. I note that the officers listed below and above my father-in-law on the pages I printed out were awarded some of the same medals as he, and I thought that perhaps someone on this list who is also looking for the meaning of his/her officer's medals could help me. As I wrote, I have not seen any emails from others on this list who are also puzzled--and that puzzles me, too. What do they understand that I do not? You say that if I tell you which volume my father-in-law's medal info comes from, you can check that, too. I don't know which volume(s) it comes from, unless a volume was published for each year. I don't read Hungarian, but I note that the titles on the five pages I have are exactly the same, except for the year. The years in which my father-in-law received medals were 1938 (page 125), 1940 (page 126), 1941 (page page 126), 1942 (page 140), and 1944 (page 118). Thanks for your reply. Jayne perllan987@aol.com
