And the search for Felix Ferdinand von Bomhard goes on Internet is fantastic I now know he was at Wilhelmsgymnasium in Munchen 1910. What I can found out he became Major 1938, Colonel in 1942 and was in 1944 Chef for Heeres Rohstoffabteilung H RO / Army Raw Materiels Branch. Charged with the procurement of raw materiels for OKH. Far away from the battlefields in World war one. I will see if can get something more, does anyone know if he was related at all to Adolf Bomhard and to GenLt d Art Theodor von Bomhard who died in 1945 105 years old !!!! Christer

This must be a rare one , I cant find anything about it and no one here seems to have info about it either. Since it was only awarded between 1911-1918 and for civil servants who had worked for 40 years I suppose they had to start work in 1871-1878,just after the 1870 War. I found a ribbon for it, but the seller is a well known medalbar faker. And I dont like to give him more money to destroy our collector community so I keep on searching :cheeky:
