    Morning, Morten...

    A very nice set of photo's you have there...only wish we knew what was being awarded.

    The clearest shot of an award is the one in post # 2, and my first thought was; 22nd March 1939 return of Memel Commemorative medal. But, alas, not clear enough to confirm.

    Norm - I think you are right. Part of my guess was related to the ribbons the other officers have. It seems that there is one officer wearing the ribbon for the 1939 EK2 and another for the War Merit Cross. Since these weren't in existence until after the war started, I figured it was a later ceremony. However, the Memel medal was awarded until December 1940, so it is quite possible. Also, the first recipient is quietly likely holding his award document in his left hand. I would lean towards it being a large Memel citation.
