Acknowledgements
The assistance of Eric Shena for his wonderful book and generosity in sharing information and pictures is acknowledged, as is Lukasz Gaszewski - having visited this site he kindly sent me an e-mail packed with information about Albanian awards, and followed this up with a collection of images to enhance these pages. Erich Lenz, Emmanuel Halleux and Kris Johnston (of JKMilitaria) have also sent me pictures, and Erich was good enough to send me a copy of his OMSA article. Thierry Jacquemot sent several pictures of Orders he collected in the Balkans.
Grateful thanks to Medal-Medaille, Morton & Eden, Carsten Zeige, Spink&Son, and San Giorgio Auction House who have permitted the use of images from their catalogues.
