saschaw Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 (edited) To make it complete, all I can offer related to Colonies. No bar, just a little photo ... Presumably a "Feldwebel der Schutztruppe Deutsch-Ostafrika", who was awarded a Prussian Militär-Ehrenzeichen II. Klasse and a Baden Silver Merit Medal for the Madji-Madji-Aufstand 1907/1908 in German East Africa. I cannot recognize the long service award which's a private purchase medal bar hanger, might be Baden or Prussia ...

Glenn J Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Sascha,he is a Sergeant. Note the Unteroffizier Troddel. The Feldwebel and Vizefeldwebel were entitled to the Officers' Portepee and Infantry Officers' sword.RegardsGlenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 That is the ONLY photo I have EVER seen of a serving member of the military wearing that strange medal-bar version of the ugly long service brooches! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
