Let's try to establish what the medal is first, then perhaps we can answer your question.
Can you describe it?
Do you see it here:

Hi there

it says greek military cross 3rd class and something else i cant quite read, but i dont know if that has much to do with the medal bit or if it is just admin speak, will try view it on another computer to see if i can read it properly, though think i remember doing that before and still failed to decypher it .

Leave it with you now
