VtwinVince Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Gentlemen,Here is a nice shot of one of my great-grandfather's brothers (not sure which one), wearing a nice frackspange. Sorry about my poor quality scanner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VtwinVince Posted October 31, 2006 Author Share Posted October 31, 2006 Kev, I think you have it except for the last one, which has me stumped. The ribbon looks a little too dark to be yellow. As for his name, I believe he's Richard Ochs, born in Magdeburg. Oh, and don't forget the 25 year oaks on the EK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev in Deva Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Hallo Gentlemen, the size of the last medal and its placement, leads me to believe it the Wilhelm I centenery medal, I think the next one in that size would be a "Verdienst um die Statt" medal in silver and the ribbon is all wrong for that particular one.Also thanks to Dave with regards the colours & photography.
