Multiple Hanseatic bar

FANTASTIC!

I am enjoying seeing these bars very much!

VERY nice ribbon bars

Christophe, Thank you for the kind words,and i'd certainly love to see other members bars.

Matt, I was presuming these are enlisted bars as there are no other gallantry or Long Service medals on the bars.

Hamburg

Bremen

These are my hands down favourite decorations of Imperial Germany. I don't think any other state awarded an Enameled Decoration to the Enlisted Ranks

First off is Lübeck

I quite like this bar

Here is a bar with a home made addition for the Front Fighters Cross

NICE bars Jason and Don

Thanx again Chris and turtle for the explanation

Here are the documents that came with the grouping,sadly the Long Service documents werent included. All of the medals came with the grouping but are unmounted. If you would like to see them let me know and I'll scan them as well

Hi,

I am guessing it is an Active Officer versus landwehr officer thing?

Best

Chris

ahhhhhhhhhh I see now. I was under the impression all Prussian soldiers in both Dienstplicht and Landwehr got the medal, I learn something everyday.

MANY thanks!!

another document

This is part of a grouping that recently arrived,and I am curious as to why he wasn't awarded a Zentenarmedaille .I feel certain the answer is in front of my face yet I am somehow missing it.
If I am reading the documents correctly he entered the Army in 1886,and retired as a Major in 1922. He was awarded The LDA2,LDA1, EK2 , War Help Medal during his service and in 1935 was awarded the Front Fighters Cross
Here are scans of a couple of documents that came with the grouping that detail his service as well as his awards( the documents for his EK, Front Fighters Cross and War Help medal came with the grouping as well) If close ups of the documents are needed please let me know

Any help will be most appreciated!
