Talking Turkey in Wurttemberg

[dwmosher]

From a friend's collection, these are the awards of Generalmajor Max Aloysius Schlee-Pasha who was the Chief of Dept V (Weapons and Munitions) and Ottoman GHQ-Inspector General for the Turkish Field Artillery from 1915-18. In 1918 he was the last commander of the XIII Army Corps (Wurttemberg) Field Artillery. Schlee was one of my friend's great grandfathers.

I'm with Heiko! I would love to see close ups of the big medal bar.

I'm sure my friend would be pleased that you all enjoyed seeing Schee's awards. I can only blow up the previous picture to show the medal bar until I can see him again to take some better shots.

I have one more question, maybe you can ask your friend...

Are all these things put on the walls for presentation the ORIGINAL medals, medal bars, shoulder bords, cufflinks etc of the former owners that survived 2 wars in the family???? Or are these arrangements new made with new material???

I ask this because there is a lot of stuff of each officer and it is not normal to safe all this over hundred years, especially if one of these officers were executed for being involved in the assault on Hitler... I have heard that the orders and decorations of these officers were taken away and definatelynot given back to the family...

Maybe we can talk about it...

greetings

By far, one of the nicest displays I've seen in a very long time. The Ordensspange is especially nice with a mounted W?rttemberg Order of The Crown w. Swords. An exceptionally rare piece.

An incredible display, and quite remarkable that it survived intact. Most of my family material was lost in the last war.

It does appear that there are swords on both the Mejidie Grand Cross set and the Osmanie 2nd class set. Not many of those around!!!

An absolutely fantastic group!
