Hi all,
New to this thread, and to this forum as well (first post!). Indeed, great to see everything preserved together. My grandfather, who was Jewish, was awarded the EKII in 1917; I have the document he received with the award, but sadly the EKII itself was lost at some point in the last 90 or so years. You can read a bit about him (and how he earned his EKII) here, if you like:
I can post a scan of the document if there is interest.
Take care, and I look forward to many interesting discussions.

Hello all,
Thanks for the kind feedback. The webpage has been a labour of love for some time now, and I am regularly finding out new tidbits and adding them as I can. Right now, I am in the process of digitizing the Unit History for Feldartillerie Regiment Nr. 47, and will make a good faith effort to try and read it, but given I do not know German, I expect it may take a while.
And yes, I am a member of the GWF, and a few other related forum sites. I see a few familiar names here already and see it really is a small world after all.
To SPM: I know the Leo Baeck Institute well. They were instrumental in helping me navigate a transaction with Landesamtes für Gesundheit und Soziales Berlin a few years back and helped me translate the health records I got from them for my grandfather. I have been meaning to go back but finding the time has been difficult.
