      I have no idea what the source is for that claim on that website, but it is false. While the majority of awards of the Kreuz für treue Dienste 1914 (SLK) were to units which had a direct connection to Schaumburg-Lippe, there was no limitation to only these units.

       

      Also, neither Husaren-Regiment Nr. 7 nor Husaren-Regiment Nr. 14 were "native" to Schaumburg-Lippe. They were high on the list of awards of the SLK because Adolf II Fürst zu Schaumburg-Lippe was à la suite to HR 7 and was the commanding officer of HR 14.

       

      The largest numbers of SLK awards were to Jäger-Bataillon Nr. 7 and its daughter formations (RJB 7, RJB 20 and Reserve-Radfahr-Kompanie Nr. 77), followed by Minden-based Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 15 and its daughter formations (RIR 15, LIR 15 and Brigade-Ersatz-Bataillon Nr. 26). Next came HR 14 and HR 7. Next in total number of awards was Minden-based Feldartillerie-Regiment Nr. 58 and its daughter formation, Reserve-Feldartillerie-Regiment Nr. 14. Other units which received multiple awards of the SLK include IR 53, LdstIR 19, 2.GUR, 1.GDR, 2.GDR, RFAR 6, KR 4, LKR 1, UR 3, PB 10, DR 5 and Flieger-Abteilung Nr. 22.

       

      There were 17 awards to navy officers, 37 to Bavarian officers, 50 to Saxon officers, 22 to Württemberg officers, 61 to Austro-Hungarian officers, 8 to Ottoman officers, 1 to a Bulgarian officer and 15 to civilians/civil servants. These numbers don't include awards to princes, most of whom were not in Prussian Army units. For example, Prinz Friedrich zu Schaumburg-Lippe was an Austro-Hungarian Generalmajor and Prinz Albrecht zu Schaumburg-Lippe was an Austro-Hungarian Oberstleutnant.

      Thanks for info ! How many total awards ?
