    1. Ludolf Petersen served on the Hamburg-America freighter "Kiel",which broke the British blockade in 1939.

      He went on to serve as a prize officer on the "Lutzow" and "Admiral Scheer".

      He then served as a prize officer on the Hilfskreuzer "Pinguin",and made it back to Bordeaux where he bacame the 1st officer on the "Stier".

      Hence his awards.

      I have a bunch of documents and photographs of crewmen from the "Stier".

       

      Cheers,Martin.

    2. Hi gents,

      hoping for a little help here.

      My dad passed away back in February.His medals always hung in a frame on the living room wall.He served in Korea and spent over 20 years in the reserves.

      However,when cleaning out draws at the home in England i was able to find his "Certificate of Service" book.

      Inside the book i found a ribbon bar with the GSM ribbon on it,but dad never had a GSM on his medal bar.

      I am back in California now but this has me confused and i am wondering if there is any way i can find out if dad was awarded the GSM ?

      is there a contact number for the MoD perhaps.

      Any help woud be appreciated.

      Thanks,Martin.

      Hi Martin,

       I am looking at a WW 1 award with the same hinge set-up, and would like to know what the source is for attribution to Deumer???

       

      Regards, 

      Chuck 

      Hi Cuck,

       

      i do not have the badge anymore but i posted it another forum many years ago and the more knowledgable members in regards to Wound Badges declared it to be a Deumer Product.

       

      Regards,Martin.

      Best from Norway,Morten.

      I still have a great interest in the hobby Morten.

      At my ripe old age i just do not buy so much anymore.

      I still have a fine collection and i am perfectly happy with that.

       

      Thank you all and best wishes.

       

      Martin.
