Poland 1920s Polish medal - original or fake?
Chris Boonzaier replied to Leclerc's topic in Central & Eastern European States
Sorry, a typo above, I meant it does NOT look period. (Big difference :-( ) Once again, rings were usually closed back then... at 9-oclock on the 2nd photo it seems not to be, rhis is more often found on cheaper modern awards. -
Agreed... 37th Reserve, 37th Füsiliers and 155th Inf are big favourites of mine (Am a bit of a 10th Res. Div. fan)... I like them because I have a bunch of documents to each of the regt... but the rest of the units in the div are not "as good"... because I have none of their docs ;-)

and I think I will leave the rest to the morning.... then we can run a competition to see who can choose the best title for this thread....

As you can see, his firm and his family put death notices in the paper....
-
And here he was killed by a direct artillery hit.....
-
OK... here is his first combat unit... he was an MG08/15 gunner with EK2....
-
Thatnks a million guys... I was mostly right, but that filled the gaps!
