Hi,
I`ve just purchased an interesting Iron Cross 1st class and silver cup awarded to the same man.
The Iron cross has the following inscrpition engraved on the rear of the award
SCHULZ-DORNBURG
AUS DER HAND KAISER WILHELM II
FLANDERSCHLACHT 25/8/17
I realise this was awarded during 3rd Ypres by the Kaiser himself, but is there any way of tracing the recipient of this award and his unit? I would love to be able to trace this man across his time in the Great War
The cup again bears the mans name in signature form with a small EK1 soldered to it.
Any advice as to where to start in tracing this man,I would be grateful.I`ve traced British and French soldiers, but am lost with German troops
Thanks
Jim
