Tom Y. posted an excellent picture of a 24 year cross on the OMSA database. See here: http://www.omsa.org/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=2823 as mentioned above-cartoonman has a 40 year in his sales list ($400, page 5) in the sales section. It would be nice if he let us borrow his images for the thread. Somebody else one day will want to know.

Agricultural? Thanks SPM, I wondered what that one was. I accidentally hit the wrong picture. This is what i meant to upload (Bavarian civil bar).

Just saw this-- A breathtaking bit of military battleflag history there.....just think of it flying in the autumn Atlantic breeze flowing up from north Africa before sinking those Portuguese ships.

Glenn found the super secret 1944 list. See the thread below.

why dont' you ring him up?

Just add a bit o' triva- wasn't there also a civil servant's long service medal??

Yancy! How do you know that? Is there a resource out there somewhere that shows the RAD"Order Of Battle"?

Danke sehr!

According to Bender and many others, the Army Good Conduct medal was first authorized and issued on June 1941 and amended in 1943 and 1944. It was allowed for each three year period of enlistment AFTER 27 August 1940. For the first award, only one year served between Dec. 7, 1941 and March 2, 1946 is required for the medals' award......or if you were KIA before one year of service. Often the army GCM is the only actual medal a guy received after getting his ruptured duck in late 1944 or 1945. The Victory medals were issued starting in early 1945. There is an excellent OMSA article about these. The picture below was taken in March, 1945 in the UK.

the former.

FJP sent it a month ago (+). I am worried. Does it go through customs?

Pg. 336 (1937 list) Anlage 1. I., II. u. III Abt. Artillerie Regiments 16 is crossed out and replaced with this:

oooh! 1934! Nice one. I got the 1937-HEAVY annotated (I'll post notes her after I finish finding them). It also includes Anlagen: Example: Art. Rgt. 52 at the top of PP. 371 is blocked out and replaced by this page:

That reminds me...... What list years are missing? I may have located another one

Nice bar!! We alla wait a Pakistani book eagerly.

I.R. 79 was part of the 20th I.D. in 1870-71 and under the rubric of the Xth A.K.-under Voigts-Rhetz, brigaed with IR 56 in IB 39. According to my booklet this regt. did not get these clasps.

The patch is for the US 6th army. I think the "A" in the patch was added @ 1943 or so (Jeff Floyd or Verkuilen will know). How many over seas stripes does the guy have at the lower sleeve? I thought the CIB translating into an automatic Bronze Star didn't happen until 1947?

What was a "youth professional worker" again?

Thanks Gordon!! Great thread. Ah- I wish they'd been mine. Great pieces.

I am looking far any/all histories of the Schleswig-Holstein Dragoon Regt. 13 if they are out there. Anyone know where I might locate one?

His emigration documents are available at diggerhistory.de His Brazilain navel information might/should be available at the Brazilian Ministry of War. Apparently he was a mercenary, served with the rebels in the Schleswig-Holstein war of 1848-51 (Germans fought with the Prussians against the "oppressive" Danes and Swedes).

Try the Austrian archives. He was Austrian. Born 1830? Fought in the Danish war/Schleswig-Holstein/Danish war of 1848-51? Probably was a Schleswigian officer (is that a real adjective?), not a Prussian one. Immigrated to Brazil in the 1850s? Fought in the Paraguayan war for Imperial Brazil? Is this the man?

GREAT bar!! It is a shame the Waterloo medal is unnamed.

yup-

Here is a close up of the bar-Amer. Legion at the end?
