I want to share a pic, which i got yesterdays for my 1870 Veteran photo book.
First - unfortunately an unknown person, b u t
at Ebay i found him on a pic again with his name and data.
My pic was taken in Berlin on christmas 1899 and it is nearly 120 years old.
It shown Heinrich Carl Scherer and
his wife. He served as a Feldwebel in IR Nr. 48 and fought
1864, 1866 and 1870. He was awarded with
-EK2 1870 (Wagner core)
-EK1 1870
-AEZ (general honour medal)
-KDM 1870 with 7 clasps (Spicheren, Vionville-Mars la tour, Gravelotte St Privat, Metz
Beaune La Rolande - Orleans and Le Mans
-1866 Kreuz für Kämpfer
-1864 KDM für Kämpfer
Centenialmedal 1897 and "25" oaks (1895)
-LSM.
In my opinion a true prussian hero of that time, especially of his EK1. It was only ~ 170 times awarded to EM and NCO.
