Válečný chirurg Oblt. idRes. Franz Burian

Válečný život Františka Buriana a zrození české plastické chirurgie
Dear colleagues,


I am adding to the identification a photograph from the cover of an interesting book about an equally interesting and successful man of Czech origin working in the Great War in the field of care for wounded soldiers. War surgeon Reserve Lieutenant Franz Burian (1881-1965) worked, among other things, during the Balkan Wars 1912 - 1913 in Sofia, Bulgaria as a leading surgeon and chief surgeon. I would therefore like to know whether the order it bears in the picture below is really the Bulgarian Order for Civil Merit IV. class surpassed by the crown. I am interested in what exactly the class is, then what is on the ribbon, whether it is a higher class practically worn as a miniature on the ribbon and something more to award and other information about this order.


Well, what about the decoration is in the pocket, unfortunately I have no idea here. I'm sorry, but a better image is not available to me.
A successful article about Burian was also published in the weekend supplement of Práva. I recommend.
