    1. Komtur,

      Who is the gentleman in the first photo in your first post?

      I know the file name indicates "Albert Prinz zu Schleswig-Hostein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg", but is it in fact "Albrecht Prinz zu Schleswig-Hostein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg"?

      The reason for my doubt is that I can't find any Albert as a recipient of the Danish Order of the Elephant whose breast star he seems to be wearing...

    2. Yes, "well done" will probably fit :)

      You know more about this than me, but I have always been a bit surprised of how many (very) unofficial medals are allowed to be worn on Swedish medal bars (not talking about the one in question).
      I have often seen high ranking Swedish officers with medal bars with 12-14 medals, of which half were for Automobile clubs, Yacht clubs, Shooting associations etc.

    3. I suspect that someone took a genuine death card (it doesn't look manipulated to me, but it's hard to tell) and decided to 'dress it up' before selling it on. Unfortunately that same someone couldn't read fracture script very well, so got the name wrong on the fabricated case.

      Any research on Ostar Kraus obviously came out with nothing, hence the very generic description of what the regiment was doing.
