Hi everybody, Here are new photos: First is General von Larisch Christophe

Hi Christian, Interresting ribbon bar you have found. For me there is no problem about the second ribbon with swords only for the Hohenzollern ribbon. A lot of Saxon officers didn't put the crown on their Hohenzollern ribbon, just swords (I have already show this ribbon bar but it's still a good example). The only bad new is about the Oldenburg ribbon. Why a non combattant ribbon and a ribbon of iron cross for combattant ? It look strange. Perharps our man was a.D at the beginning of the war and he received this medal with non combattant ribbon just before beeing activated. And it can explain why he received then the iron cross for combattant and most important the Hohenzollern knight cross with X. I have no explanation for that. About the Austrian ribbon, I prefer seeing wreath on that ribbon that swords, just my two cents. Christophe

Hi, Rick in his post 4 has completly right. Not only authors like Rick, Daniel and Paul has taken time to type (and everyone here know how Rick hates that ) but others searchers put their work on the net. I'm not a TR specialist and when I want to know informations about some Generals, I use that website , here is the link http://www.geocities.com/~orion47/WEHRMACHT/HEER/DasHeer.html I put a lot of informations from that website but nobody use it. Most important for searchers are books and sources. Our generation is lucky with internet, so use it correctly. Christophe

Maybe a Freikorps badge, Tamara badge ? Wait for answer of Rick. Is there any chance about close up ? Christophe

Hi everybody, Here is a new photo. It is about Oberstleutnant Grimm from R.I.R. Nr. 220 You can clearly see the pin medals : EK1, RK, and REOX. On the ribbon of the EK2, there is crown and X for Hohenzollern knight cross but near this ribbon there is another one. Probably a Reuss medal ! Information I have about him : in the Ehrenranglisten 1926, he is an inaktiv Offizier. And it is said that he was at the head of the R.I.RNr. 222. If someone can give me more information it will be great. Christophe
