I know this has been debated before as to whether a guy that earned the EK2 in WW1 and then received another one in WW2 would get a repition clasp but I think that would only apply if he got his second EK2 in for bravery or at the front etc... which was the requirement. I think the pool of guys that earned the EK2 NC (10-13000) in WW1 would have been pretty old and pretty slim for earning one in WW2. Age and occupation alone would have kept most out of the front lines or at home. Since I've only seen a few NC EKs sporting a clasp and never on a medal bar I think my above suposition must ring true. This doesn't mean that guys serving at the homefront weren't elegible for recognition though, just not an EK. The WMC series was instituted to preserve the EK as a soldiers award. A civilian or civil servant would have gotten one of these, either with or without swords depending upon the circumstances of the earning. At least this is what I have always thought. And finally I have proof of sorts: Drum roll please, and Chris, no drooling. Ladies and Gentlemen, may I introduce you yo the closest thing you will ever see in a second award of an NC EK2-
