That is strange, but it wouldn't be the first time a military recorded something incorrectly. It's also hard to tell what the original message was considering much of the original card is lost to time. They could have been discussing the possibility of him becoming a lieutenant or perhaps it was just recorded incorrectly in the books.

But what about the ribbon?

Great find! I don't think it is the Militär-Sanitäts-Orden (I don't think this came as a pin-back award). Perhaps it could be the Fürstlich Hohenzollernscher Bene Merenti?
