Hi Dresdner Nachrichten 6 August 1918

Hi New discovery about Ernst Freiherr von Althaus. We have never found the exact date of his HOH3X award. In Dresdner Nachrichten, on the date of May, the 11th 1916, it is said that he aldready had the EK1 and had new award : the HOH3X. Like his 6th victory is on May, the 3rd 1916. He received it as an immediate award probably on 8 or 9 May. I think it is the same about his EK1, His 5th victory is on 30 April 1916, he should received it 1st May as an immediate award Christophe

Hi I have found only 2 saxon officier who received SA3aXKr and KVK (which can match with this medal bar). But in my list I have no idea if those officers received the Colonial medal. It's the first time I see such claps on the colonial medal. Why there is no Prussian colonial medal like RAO4X or KO4X ? Christophe

Hi, Here is one photo of Kaiser with Dohna Schlodien as Flügel Adjudant Christophe

Hi, Congrats, what a nice bar you have and with photo. Have you got more information about your officer ?

Hi The cross is the "Cross for heroic deed" from Lippe Detmold Christophe

Hi, I have in my Saxon database and I have found nothing more than Blackcowboy. This is probably a retired officer who served in the back of the front. For that we should read the Saxon Rangliste Christophe

Hi, If you want an interesting information about this order, Neal O'Connor has done it in English in his volume 3 of Aviation awards of Imperial Germany in WW1, if you read German you could buy the Dieter Weber's book, Die Orden des Königreiches Sachsen. If you want another info, send me a pm Christophe

Hi, Nice project. Definitively, the third ribbon is for Albrecht Orden (probably 1st class). About the other medal, I agree with PKO4 and WF3b. It is not possible to see TR medal here like there is no Hindenburg cross. Christophe

Hi In the O'Connor's book, volume 5, page 65 he "presented himself to the local command in Hamburg as a volunteer on August 2, 1914" Christophe
