I will wait for more Saschen books ! Maybe some day I will find him, until then he will rest with all the other guys without names...... I wonder what he did in WW1 ? Christer

Unusual Award-paper for Honor Cross What is so strange about this paper? Well its issued by the German Consulate in Apenrade ,Hmm to a Karl Hellweg in Sonderburg and he is to get an Honor cross for fighters , and hes military duty is shown in his "milit?rpass" so whats unusual about that? Sonderburg ! That?s in Denmark !! But in 1914-1918 Sonderburg belonged to Germany (Schleswig-Holstein) but after a public vote in 1920 it was decided that it would belong to Denmark. So this guy lived in Gemany 1918 and in Denmark 1935 but still got the Honorcross. Interesting, its the only paper to a Danish ( well, ex german) I seen Christer

Aha , Thanks Paul ! The Photo is taken in Dresden by the way Christer

And here is a somewhat better pic of the bar ! Christer

Hi all, I Just bought a common Victory medal but when I start to look for information it become more interesting. His name was Joseph Beard 306318 Sto 1 RN , born 7th June 1885 in Brighton, Sussex I couldnt get any medal card from National Archives? Is that because he was Royal Navy? But I downloaded his service record and trying do read thoose handwritten notes I found out that he been on HMS Castor, wasn?t she in the Jutland Battle? Does anyone know anything more about HMS Castor or Joseph Beard? He got the victory medal but I cant see if got anything else... Any info at all would be an early christmas present! Christer
