Hey guys, well... here is a small question........ He attained the rank of Major General in 1918 (the date of the tunic).... and the shoulder boards I have are also Major General (perhaps the family kept the Lt. General boards).... So... the question/speculation is...... Which grades of these orders would he have had in 1918-1920 (i.e. I don't think he got the GC of the Dannebrog until he was promoted to Lt. General).... What are your thoughts ?? Cheers Mark

Reverse

Hi guys, I had posted this on another thread.. and was asked to post it here to answer some questions... Here is the military version.. in solid gold.... the sword blades are silver plated to add contrast. Cheers Mark

Mike You are THE MAN !! This is great stuff........ ! Cheers Mark

Hi Mike, No rush.... just whenever you can get to it ..... I've been collecting general's uniforms (all countries) for a long time.. and a friend in Europe always seems to come across the odd ones.. and I had been looking for a Danish one... soooo when he called..... I picked it up. Now.. I just need to complete it (belt, hat and orders). Cheers Mark

Mike, Now.... my next big question..... Does anyone have contacts where I can find a belt, bi-corne cap and the orders I need to complete his display ? Any suggestions ?? Cheers Mark

Now.... the reason for my madness....... Dated to him 1918 as Major General.......

and this

I can pretty much make out the ranks.... fairly easy to translate..... However.... can you (if you have time) translate this info as I believe it is his service record.

Hey Mike, Is this the picture you have .....?

Sad thing is... it looks 1000% better in person !! I didn't know that about the Henry order...... Cheers Mark

Reverse... The swords are actually have silver plated blades.....

Ask and you shall recieve....... Sold gold......

I have an early one in solid gold (that is not mounted)... this one is the silver/gilt pattern. I think it is still an active award......

Is your Orange/Nassau Officer or Knight... The one on my bar is Officer (gold with rossette)..... Cheers Mark

And the reverse

Hey Jacky, Here is my general's bar..... with a 40 year device. Cheers Mark

Hey Guys, this website is GREAT.. for all generals..not just French.... http://web.genealogie.free.fr/Les_militair...e_1919-1920.htm Go in and look around.. there is a ton of good info here. Now...... Bill.. post some pics... you know how I am about general's stuff Cheers Mark

Hello all, A friend of mine is researching Robert of Wurttemburg and Friederick the 2nd and is needing pictures of them, preferably as Robert as a general in the 9th Uhlans, and Friederick the 2nd as a general in the 1st Guard Uhlans of 1911-1914. Any pictures would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Mark

Hello Robert, I would love to find out what the medals/orders are that he is wearing... because it is the same configuration of a general's uniform that I have... Any chance that you can e-mail me larger pictures of the first two pictures ? Cheers Mark

Heiko, First I would like to say that I think this really sucks.... and I hope that those responsible are caught. Though here in the US they would only get a slap on the wrist and released ... not sure about the laws in Germany. I would also suggest that you notify all of the big dealers and auctionhouses (i.e. weitze, thies etc) and let them know ... in the even that some tries to move them fast.... The more eyes that are looking.... the more territory that can be covered. Cheers Mark

I'm with Ed on this one... I prefer the pre 1914 bars over any others.... 1870 IC with Oaks, 1870 with bars and Centenial medal then throw in a long service and a few other bits and bobs..... Wee Haa !!! Cheers Mark

Hey Stuart, All of my info either came from the British archives, who's who or other misc research material that I have. There is also an on-line London Gazzet search for Mentioned in dispatch. I'm embarassed as I have not updated my site in almost 3 years..... But I have posted a few pics of the new war room in this section under 'collection overview' if you want to see the thread. Due to space limitations.. I'm only concentrating on parade uniforms now and have moved all the field wear stuff (I like the bright and shiney ).... I really admire your helmets.... and I have always liked the Victorian stuff... !!! Cheers Mark
