Deruelle Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 Hi everybody, I have received it recently and I just want to know if it is tracable. Look at the beautiful ribbon bar and more particulary of the second ribbon (I think of CM2 with date of Saxe Coburg Gotha ).I can't read the back of the photo, if someone can help me. Thanks per advanceChristophe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulsterman Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 That is the first time I have ever seen that as a stamp on a postcard.From the Treasurer's bureau of the 47th Reserve Division, IR 220 and mailed from the Lipsk-Baranovitchi area.It's from "Hans" to his sister I think.

Guest Rick Research Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 That's Generalleutnant Friedrich Wilhelm Nikolaus Alfred von Besser (1854-1919) as CO of the 47th Reserve Division. I am sure that his ribbon bar is 25mm size ribbons overlapping each other:EK2 1870 w/1895 oakleaves, XXV, and the 1870 War Medal--those are two battle bars from that, not a Carl Eduard.[attachmentid=9695][attachmentid=9696] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
