However, this new order failed to win international recognition and the war continued. Neither side achieved a military victory and a compromise was later reached.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe items include:\u003cbr\u003e- Large bullion cap badge with lion.\u003cbr\u003e- Pair of collar tabs, blue with gold stripe and buttons.
