So.....is he in the DOA 1908/09?

cable-less? So where does he live already? Somewhere in Canada right?

Hi Christer how far back does your data go? I would be interested in any data you had on the kurhessian officers ( I have two who receipt before 1840)

is nt the guy on the painting Carl Herzog v. Braunschweig http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_II._(Braunschweig) great painting!

Some time ago, there were presented here two books on cross-country awards during the WWI if I recall correctly from Baden to Württemberg and vice versa. The front was white showing the portraits of the two sovereigns at the time....can anyone help me find the link to the book? thanks alot David

Ah I see, thanks for that. Although not a reall fan of the nazi era medals, I am very fond of this eagle on a white cross!

Thank you for sharing this! As you may or may not know, the pre-imperial era is my favourite and I am especially touched by these kind of portraits and finding out who is on it. Again I think you have a great addition to your collection. What does you collection further contains? regards David

is there a close up somewhere of the original eagle as well?

Another anonymous portrait named! Very touching! Congratulations! What a wonderfull job we have to rename the unnamed!

the redcross cross is one of most beautiful crosses I have ever seen!

There is a complete list of all MMTHO winners to be found here http://www.austro-hungarian-army.co.uk/mmtoind.htm with that and the timeframe you have ( I would say roughly between 1790 and 1820) you would have some digging to do, you could also compare the namelist with the recipients of the Baden Order (to be found in the online Baden Staatshandbbücher I am sure). Crossreference them and you will have your answer. regards David

I always wonder how they weear this, pinned somewhere under their shoulder?

Hello Uwe thanks for your reply at least I have some idea now about what to think of this. To me as a Dutchman your english sounds good, I only wish oneday I will be able to write like that in German regards David

Hi I have 2 officers in my CHWO research who retired without "Beibehalt des Militär-Charackters". Why would this happen? Of at least one of them I know he asked to be quittiert without his Militair-Charackter ad he was a Generalmajor. It really puzzles me, as I thaught officers who retired would be proud of their accomplishements... hope someone can explain this to me regards David

Hi All who has access to a prussian states handbook of 1860-1872 and can look up the O&E for the roman catholic bishop of Fulda, Kött for me? I could not find the data I need over googlebooks. so I hope someone here will help me out thanks a lot regards David

As I have not been able to get myself a scan in the meantime, I herewith retry ,y request thnka you so much regards David

Why are we all focussing on a Tasche who received a SA3X which doesnot show in wear on the photo?

Hi I am looking for the details as in Soldatisches Führertum on Gen. Johann Ludwig Markhoff. A niece of my wife has a painting depicting him, and is under the impression he is related to them. His entry should be in Bd 4 S. 471 Nr 1396. If you could place a scan here, that would be great, if not, please send it to david.muldner(a)gmail.com Thanks! regards David

Hi I republished my website on the House Order of the Golden Lion of Churhessen (for the 1821-1831) at Please tell me how you like it: https://sites.google.com/site/davidmueldner/home/chgl regards David

I really love it when this groups stay/brought back together. That he may live forever in remembrance!

To bad the characteristics of the prussian crown are lost in the mini....

Hi Wild Card Ah I see, is there a list somewhere of who got it? Maybe just the homburgian princes, or did they have a prinzengrosse one for around the neck? regards David

one of the things still missing is the hessen homburg two swords crossed medal for the befreiungskriege....dont know how rare it is or if anyone here has it though....

I looked over this old thread of mine but cannot shake loos the idea why there should be 2 entries for the same medal (according to Rick R.) The Gallipoli Star would have been the same as the osmanische Kriegsmedaille? Are there not any alternatives? regards David
