Here's a better pic of Josef Kammhuber, showing clearly his interesting postwar Bundesluftwaffe ribbon bar with Imperial awards. The two bottom rows seem to be all foreign awards, with at least two commander grades:

Judging from the combination of battle bars, he was either 2nd or 4th Cavalry Division in 1870/71.

WOW!!!! When will that list be available??? I want one!

A Husar from "Sch?ppenstedt"? Have you got his name?

Not mine, but on the market and something like ~60 awarded......... (The LS Cross, that is.... not that the BHL MK1 is nothing to sneeze at...)

Wow, that is a killer bar. Must have been quite old as they stopped awarding these in 1884...

Here is an extensive thread on this award:

@webr55

I had this promotion date before, but I can?t remember the source. Where is that from?

That is from a library catalog. Some of these catalogs even show exact promotion dates, not in this case, though.

Dr. med. from the University of Berlin in 1911. His dissertation was about "Stichverletzungen des Herzens".

The here showed sources never mentioned any PKO

Best regards, Komtur.

So we know it from this Stammliste des Marine-Sanit?ts-Offizierkorps? I had never heard of that before; it would be very interesting if ALL awards are in there. It seems the entry you showed lists only wartime awards...

From the 1918 ranklist, I would never have guessed on him. His entry there shows: RAO4, EK2, XXV, PRKM3. I find it surprising that he didn't even have a PKO4 in 1918, but got the PKO2 until 1922... Where is that shown?

In any case, that again shows how important it would be to get the crew books from the 1930s, listing ALL awards for the crew members.

I think this can only be Carl Philipp von Wrede (1767-1838), who was Bavarian Field Marshal during the Napoleonic wars.

BUT - could it be that they mixed things up? Field Marshal v. Wrede has a very famous statue: in the Munich Feldherrnhalle...

And an earlier one:

That is Oberst Lothar Habersang. There are a number of other photos of him. Hope it's ok if i post this one here:

The awards might be all listed in the known rolls, Hohenzollern, Bayern, Sachsen, (W?rttemberg follows later), Weimar, Ernestiner, but we cannot put the info together because WHICH of the plenty Captains M?ller or Major v.B?low could it be...

Yes, but shouldn't he be in the White Falcon rolls? He is not a Sachsen-Weimar native, right - so his entry can't be missing...?

Looks like the sew-on bottom (bottom row in my pix) matches your top sew-on bar!

Talk to the twin....

Yes, thanks! We have to arrange for a reunification...!

Ahhh - I knew I had seen that combination before. So that is the RAD super hero - MAYBE in the near future I can help with the ID...

BTW, interesting that my bar is the only one with the VdF...

Congratulations! The second jubilee medal is the Golden Wedding Jubilee 1918 - not on the statute ribbon, but on the "usual" one.

Just got this ribbon bar of a very well-decorated officer:

EK2, HHOX, HT, GSF3a/bX, HSH3a/bX, BMV4X, SA3a/bX, WF3a/bX, OK2 - with "Vor dem Feinde". Makes EIGHT states!

Seems to have been a General staff officer in WW1 - guess this is his upper row.

BUT I just couldn't find him... not RH/RM if my eyes are still ok.

That is an amazing bar Gary! Congratulations!

So this General most likely wore the uniform of an Administrative General?

No, I don't think so. He was a regular Generalmajor, although with rear area duties (clothing department...). But he was not an official with General-equivalent rank.

...me too...

Google tells us that Dr. Eduard Stolle went to the World Exposition in London 1851, presenting a "H?ckselschneidemaschine" - no idea how to translate that...
