PM sent Mervyn.

Still looking. The information I am interested in is as follows: - Name of recipient; - Date of Application; - Date Received; - Rank and Unit; - Engraved/Impressed.

I would appreciate if any members with the SA Efficiency (Geo.VI) Bi-ling. 'Union' Medal could drop me a PM. I am currently undertaking some research into the naming of the SA EM and would appreciate any assistance. Many thanks in advance, Dave

Would it possibly be possible to see photos of the groupings please?

Thanks for clarifying the point Chip; very much appreciated, and very helpful!

Thanks for the help guys, much appreciated! @ Jens, already found that out and have written to the Volksbund, but thanks anyways! @ Chip, are you sure the regiment was with the 195th Division; I thought it was part of the 16th Infantry Division throughout the war?

For sometime now I have, in conjunction with my grandparents, been researching the history of one of our relatives; Unteroffizier Heinrich Martin who served with Rhenish Infantry Regiment 28 and was KIA on 28 March 1918. Whilst Rick and others were extremely helpful in providing information pertaining to the history of the regiment http://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/forums/sho...ead.php?t=14437 I recently came into position of his death certificate and would appreciate any help in locating the place of his death: 'Moueby'. To this end, pictures of the above mentioned death certificate can be found at http://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/forums/sho...d=1#post1469468. Thanks for any help in advance!

Hey Rick, Thats one of the reasons I enjoy collecting documents; they always tell a story! More often than not the research and end project is the most enjoyable part of collecting, hence the reason why I like as complete groups as possible.......yet, you always seem to know more than everyone else

My Dad conducted some business with the Foreign Legion and was given that, which he in turn gave to me! In addition, he was also given a copy of some 'rules' worn under the guys cap! Sorry, but thats all I know!

Don't mean to sound daft, but which badge do you mean Chris?

This is my British militaria....the medals in the top left are a father son grouping and and were given to me by a friend of my gran. They include the QSA Medal with Cape Colony Bar, 1914-15 Star, Victory Medal and War Medal. The RAF wings belonged to my granddads uncle who saw service during WWII.

These items belonged to my Granddad, who saw service as an airman with the SAAF in North Africa and the Middle East. Unfortunately, his actual medals were stolen during a buglary and these are replacements that I purchased. Bar his documents, the ribbon bar is his and was sown by my mom, although as you can tell the medals are in the wrong order. This is because one of the ribbons was sown the wrong way around and it displays better this way as a result.

Last of my German Collection. This is a mismatch of Wehrpasses. The soldbuch forms part of a WWI and WWII grouping with the militapass and WWI soldbuch to the same person.

This is my panzer WP collection. The Ost Medaille is MM76, the West Wall Medal is Tombak and the coin was from my Gran and dates to 1913.

2 of the wehrpasses in this display belong to Crimean veterans and come with the relevant award documents etc which are filed away!
