Hmm, I'm sorry, but I thought to have some more, but I had a big data loss two years ago which seems to have taken also some nice bars from my database ... So here are all bars with "Sachsen-Meiningen, Ehrenzeichen für Verdienst im Kriege" that I found on my PC, including also some of members of this forum. If someone doesn't like me to show a bar in his posses here, please contact me to remove these pictures. My apologize to those I cannot name the owner, but I cannot remember anything to every bar.

Guest Rick Research Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Oh yes. A lot of these are going to be "name-able" when the roll is done and I have also finished the Meiningen Ernestine rolls-- which should be next month.I just passed 50% of the "SMK" roll today and am just into May 1916. That's right-- a full HALF of the awards had been given in the first year they were available, with 2 1/2 more years to go for the remaining half. That is why I suspect the ZINK ones will turn out to be much rarer than the beautiful chocolate bronze version.I need to not only finish that last 50% of the roll, but also actually enter the Meiningen Ernestines, but it LOOKS as if Meiningen MIGHT have bestowed one--OR the other., NOT both. And a suspicion grows on me that the 1917-18 Meiningen Ernestine rolls are NOT 'missing," but that awards of the very expensive enamel and silver House Order and its medals simply... faded away for war economy reasons. That will require examining all three Ernestine rolls to see if any can be found in Rank Lists etc which are NOT on the rolls-- and would presumably be "missing" 1917-18 Meiningens.I've had this one identified to Oberleutnant dR Karl Stracke of Inf Rgt 83 (22. Inf Div-- WWaldeck and Meiningen) from the double Waldeck awards and HHOX:His name has not turned up yet in the first 50%.HHOX in the MWB of 26.10.18 (Oberleutnant dR)Waldeck VK3 X 20.1.15 as Lt dR IR 83Waldeck VK 4X 3,10,14 dittoThere doesn't seem to be anybody else with double wearable Waldeck Xs and a HHOX. If I don't find Stracke in the SMK roll, then at least I'll go through IR 83 and RIR 83 to see if I can match a "double" with an SMK-- and assume this is a Missing HHOX person. Couple of weeks and the whole SMK roll will be transcribed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deruelle Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Rick, Concerning the double Waldeck orders and Saxe Meiningen, we can find Hauptmann Sch?nemann who got the Hohenzollern medals too. What do you thing about this officer ?Christophe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Sch?nemann also had HT and ?M3K, so not him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
