Hi,
The picture shown is that of a Latvian officer Sturmabnnfuhrer Fricis Mezgravis:
DOB- 21/3/1905
DOD- 1/10/1987
EK2- 27/6/1944
Served in the 3rd "Cesis" Police regt and later in the 34th Rgt 15th division.
I have seen this pictue in a book or two, but only the upper portion is shown so that you can see only the EK2 ribbon and his face of course. Is there any writing on the back?
Regards,
CAS

Hi,
I thought it might be a copy.Anyway off hand the above picture features in "Par Zemi Ko Milam... Latviesu Dzelzskrustnieki " by Udo Sietins. The book is in Latvian, the title translates roughly as "For the Land we Love.. Latvian Iron Cross Winners". That's the only book I can think of at the moment, however it may also appear in a few other Latvian language titles I have in my possession.
All the best,
CAS
