Daniel Krause

Thanks! So he is most likely one more to add. Best, Daniel

Hello Friends, I have Weydenhammer as Weidenhammer in my lists, Bavarian Officer. BMV4X, EK2, BZ3bX, HT, ÖM3K, TH No Hohenzollern, either Royal or Princely... ...and lots of THANKS!!! Best, Daniel

Great stuff, friends! Many thanks!!! Best, Daniel

That is the so called Grosser Roter Adlerorden, awarded between 1792 and 1810, before the Order was split up in 3 classes and got his final shape. Best Daniel

Here ? very nice bar! congrats! indeed a quite unusual Combo and indeed most likely a Major. active guy, sure a Captain in 1914, WW1 Major, maybe retired Lt Col. we are still short of good info on Lippe-Detmold recipients, but sooner or later I am sure, this bar gets a Name back. best, Daniel

The missing of the Hindenburg cross might indicate, that the bar was made before 1934... Numbers, how many bravery medals went to Germany is unknown to me, for sure there were thousands. Lots of German units served alongside Austrians in the east and south. best, Daniel

No. 2 different things... As I mentioned, about 5.000 combatants EK2 on the black ribbon were awarded for merits at home. The EK2 on the white ribbon for civilians and officials was awarded about 3.000 times in WW1 and about 10.000 times in the years after. Best Daniel

Yes, right. If I remember correctly, about 5.000 EK2 on the combatants ribbon were handed out for merits at home. Best, Daniel

Hi Sascha, I am not aware of ANY Bavarian enlisted or NCO with the Prussian MVK. There was one with the Hohenzollern Inhaber with swords - legendary Max Müller, but thats all. Best, Daniel

Dear v. Perlet, Please understand finally that this special war ribbon for the MVO was NOT introduced until 1913.... so the pic can NOT pre-date this year. Awardees who got the MVO for war merits with swords before 1913 did still wear it on the standard ribbon...but could wear it AFTER 1913 on the new created war ribbon. Its a plain WW1 pic. Nothing more. Best, Daniel

Quite odd as I have Kraewel with a RAO2 with swords and a KO2 with star and swords, but no Hohenzollern... Best, Daniel

The 4 ladies with the EK2 in WW1 in my list are: Frieda Gessert, Elfriede Scherhans, geb. Buchholz Sophie Gräfin zu Törring-Jettenbach, Lonny Hertha von Versen. Not sure if Dr. Reimer did indeed get one. Best, Daniel

Emil Hell Best regards Daniel

No, no Schill in the lists. Best, Daniel

...and here you have a fitting face to the bar :-) best, Daniel

Hi Peter, No Alvensleben. It belonged to General Georg Hartmann Freiherr THUMB v.NEUBURG Best, Daniel

Nice!!! The bios are from regimental officers lists. I do not exactly remember which ones. I did the ID of that bar to my late friend Peter Groch many years ago. Unfortunately , no pic of him in my files. Best Daniel

hmpf. confusing... DAAAAVE, can you help? I have the IR 30 guy with the HOH3X as Hermann, Siegfried, acc. my list is the DR 21 Officer with the Zähringer Löwen and no HOH3X... Best Daniel

is the name Siegfried mentioned at the backside? Would guess, it would be Hermann from IR 30. Best, Daniel

Hi Dave, might that be the LtdR Becker from IR 44?? HOH3X published in Oct 18? Best, Daniel

Hi Chuck, I have no idea. Best, Daniel

to keep this alive, here a bar, whch Rick and I discussed many years ago. We thought it might be a fake, until we found a pic of that guy. LtCol Karl Schiller Best, Daniel

No. As an Officer in the Prussian Army, active or not, he was a "Königlicher", - "Royal" Oberarzt. A Navy guy would be a "Kaiserlicher" - "Imperial", as the Navy was a Reichs- issue. If he would be related or better professionally connected to the Baden Family, he would be addresses a "großherzoglicher" "Hochwohlgeboren" was the courtesy title for all Officers, if they did not deserve something higher due to their noble status. Best, Daniel

Becker - Oberlehrer indicates, he might be already a bit older. The Hptm d.R. in IR 364 was a Hermann, maybe him? At least it seems he was no native Oldenburger, otherwise he "must" have gotten a Oldenburger Order of Merit with swords parallel to his HOH3X. Best, Daniel
