3 distinct stages

[Chris Boonzaier]

You have all seen this before I think, but I still enjoy posting it. From the wifes relative. great, great uncle 3 times removed, somewhere around the corner, etc. etc.

He was a language teacher and got the flower war medals for monitering allied radio broadcasts in an attempt to see if there were any signs the allies would go to war if the Germans marched in.

If anyone has a list of bavarian recipients.... I know his name, but not the regiment....

Very nice group, Chris, from Kaiserreich to Drittes Reich to Bundesrepublik. I particularly like the look of that MVO.

[Ulsterman]

There is an MVO list-or a potential one. What was his name?

perhaps we can track him down......

Pity he never had them all mounted-he'd be a one-man 20th century German history lesson.

By the way-a gold and a silver Anschluss medal, or is that a Sudeten one?

Hello Ulsterman:

I believe that the silver-coloured medal is the Austrian Anschlu?medaille, and the gold-coloured medal is the Sudentenland Anschlu?medaille.

INdeed, it is Sudeten and Austria.

His name was Cornel Dumbacher, was a leutnant der Reserve.

All I know was he lived in Schmeeberg, close to W?rzburg, so may have been in the infantry regiment Wrede.

In April 1915 joined a Feldersatzbataillon and then went off to the front, the whole time on the Western front in an unknown Bavarian unit.

chris-

great postcard! ( one of the things i love and

can still afford to collect!)

i assume this was a blank that could be

"filled in" by the recipient.

Hi,

on the back it is addressed to a wife by a "Comrade of your husbands" saying basically "Here is your unwashed husband at the front"

Best

Chris
