Hello, I have found him. Wild Eugen, born 30.9.1878 in Munich, salesman, married, 1 child. Einjährig Freiwilliger. He was Unteroffizier der Landwehr 2. Reserve-Fußartillerie Regiment (Metz), he moved to the 1. bay Reserve Fuß Artillerie on the 5th August 1914. He died on the 30. August 1914 in Frambois. Your date, the 16th september, is the date of the missinglist. Sorry, but I have no answer to your question about the higher comands. My knowledge about military formations is very modest. Look at the autograph, it's Hugo Meiler ! regards Andreas

Hello, he was born 1.2.1854 and startet in the army 1870. He died 17.101916 in a hospital in Metz. Ancestry shows a bavarian MVK 2 with crown and swords. On your picture might be a earlier MVK without crown. Please, show us a bigger picture of the bar. He got the silver medal for the war 1870 (non combattant) regtards Andreas

Hello, this cross belongs to the bavarian Red Cross between the two wars. The ribbon is blue with two white stripes. http://www.google.de/imgres?imgurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.richardajordan.com%2FRed_Cross%2FGraphics%2Fbavaria03a.jpg&imgrefurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.richardajordan.com%2FRed_Cross%2FBavariaRedCross.html&h=300&w=157&tbnid=0gOPIHP7Ld8CBM%3A&zoom=1&docid=9JZWY_S9032ENM&ei=wdz9U9DHNuu_ygOIvYHYCQ&tbm=isch&client=firefox-a&iact=rc&uact=3&dur=1382&page=4&start=104&ndsp=37&ved=0CCEQrQMwCThk regards Andreas

Hello Lambert, I have no suspicions about this MVK. It is a Hemmerle second class with crown and swords. It was awarded to an official, because the ribbon is for "Kriegsverdienst". The bar looks like prussian, because the prussian service medal. Possibly a bavarian official in prussian army. Or a prussian official who was decorated by the bavarian Kingdom.

Hello, I don't know the year of manufacturing, but the sign is the manufacturer Zwilling/Solingen. Zwilling=twins ( you will see two people in the sign). regards Andreas

Hello Andy, the two certificates for the cross are allright. The right certificate ist for the award and the left is a dokument for the return of the cross to the Ordenskanzlei, after the death of the winner. All MVO and MVK's had a obligation to return after the death of the owner. It is correct, after war, he was an official at the german customs.

Some new Bavarian bits
spolei replied to dante's topic in Germany: Imperial Uniforms, Headwear, Insignia & Personal Equipment
Hello, gratulations to this items, very, very nice. The left decoration is the Prinz_Alfons_Schießabzeichen. The little pillow for the decoration looks very lovely. The armband is one of a Munich volunteer corps but I don't know if it is original. regards Andreas
