Chris Boonzaier Posted July 19, 2017 Author Share Posted July 19, 2017 Hi, thanks, do you have any ideas for the one next to the EK2? awarded 15 April 1915? Looks to be Ernestinischen as well... All the best Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Boonzaier Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share Posted July 20, 2017 Hi, do you think "Es" could be some clerks Kurzel for Ernestinischen ? Best Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tompress Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 It could be also "Fs". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Danner Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Given the regiment, it seems like it should be another Sachsen-Meiningen award. Swords to the prewar silver medal of the Ernestine Hausorden might make sense, although at least 175 enlisted men in LGR 100 received the Ehrenmedaille für Verdienst im Kriege. I have no idea how Saxony chose to abbreviate this award. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted August 11, 2017 Author Share Posted August 11, 2017 Wow... I like a good mystery! Maybe the unit clerk made it up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
