Thanks, "taimikhan". Lukasz and I still chase this mystery ribbon. I have, also, posted the first of a bunch of specific questions over in another thread here (and I'd add that link if I could). Thanks in advance.

Enough for now? More than enough? I really don't want to innundate you, but these are among the questions that have been nagging me. Thanks in advance.

Question 7 - Azad Kashmir Awards I know that Azad Kashmir has (had?) a set of awards paralling the Nishan-i-Haider, Hilal-i-Jur’at, Sitara-i-Jur’at, and Tamgha-i-Jur’at. Does anyone have the names, descriptions, and numbers awarded (maybe even the names of the...

Question 6 - Who got the Sitara-e-Eissar and Tamgha-i-Eissar? Were these awards for relief operations in the aftermath of the 2005 earthquake awarded to Pakistanis or only to foreigners? The legends, after all, are only in English.

Question 5 - Pakistani Awards for Gulf War II I do not believe Pakistan awarded any clasps to the Tamgha-i-Diffa or separate campaign medals for the Pakistani role in Gulf War II (the liberation of Kuwait, 1990-91). Am I correct? Were Pakistani troops allowed to accept and wear the Saudi...

Question 4 - Police Awards I know the police aren't military (though in Pakistan as in many other countries they often behave as if they are), but I thought I'd try. The inherited pattern: King's / Queen's Police Medal for Gallantry Indian Police Medal for Gallantry King's / Queen's...

Question 3 - Ribbons for the Sitara-i-Basalat and Tamgha-i-Basalat This is another area where sources, especially quasi-official ones like governmental websites, are very confused and confusing. Admittedly, disentangling these closely linked awards isn't easy. I have been seeking clear...

Question 2 - Number of Gallantry Awards Does anyone have access to reliable (RELIABLE!) numbers of the awards of the Hilal-i-Jur’at, Sitara-i-Jur’at, and Tamgha-i-Jur’at, broken down by campaign and branch of service? Some books (for example, Hussain & Qureshi on the Air Force or Rahman on...

Question 1 - Tamgha-i-Jur’at ribbon Presenting all the inherent problems of an unbalanced ribbon, the ribbon of the Tamgha-i-Jur’at is shown some ways in some sources and reversed in others. The official military website is notoriously unreliable, as it has the rinbnon for the...

Following on Lukasz's thread (where questions remain), as I continue my work on Pakistani awards, I have a number of questions (and suspect I shall have more). A appreciate any help people can give. I have sent requests to the local Pakistani Embassy and to a number of individuals in...

This is my first post. Glad to be here on Lukasz's encouragement. I also share an interest in Pakistani orders, decorations, and medals. I worked with Lukasz when he did his first Pakistani ribbon pages and, for a long time, I ran a website on Pakistani awards (it is gone now). I am also...
