Named Austro Hungarian Signum Laudis Medal - Bosnia-Herzegovinia Infantry


Recommended Posts

While giving my Signum Laudis medals a quick dust I noticed that this Bronze medal is engraved round the rim - "Vom Offizierkorps des KuK Bos Herc Infanterier Regimente No 4" which refers to the 4th of the four Bosnia-Herzegovinia Infantry (Bosnisch-Hercegovinische Infanterie) Regiments and 1 Jäger regiment that were in existence at the start of WW1.
 
I also understand that these regiments recruited from towns with very familiar names; Sarajevo, Banja Luka, Tuzla, and Mostar, and were made up of up to 30% Muslims.
