Deruelle Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Hi, I have already shown it but I have a photo of MajorTheodor von Bomhard after 1920 showing his big medal bar. Christophe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webr55 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Very interesting photo indeed. That must have been taken between 1934 and 1938. There is the Hindenburg, but the Austrian awards are still at the end of his bar, therefore pre-Anschluss, probably. He was in Finland, I see several Finnish awards, including the White Rose on his neck. He is not to be confused with General Theodor von Bomhard though. Do you know his exact first name?

webr55 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Ahh yes, that is Oberstleutnant aD Theodor Ernst von Bomhard, born 20.2.1874, died 15.06.1938. He was the younger son of General Theodor Karl Eduard and Felix' uncle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
