Chris Boonzaier Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Any reasons why the dates differ?You mean on the EK? Same dates are very much the exception.2 years between award and signing of the doc is not unusual.Initially they planned to do an official document like for 1870, so units started awarding preliminary docs, some from day one of the war, some started much later and issued them months or years after the event....Of course... the Official document never happened....
