Unteroffizier in the Bavarian Airship Battalion, with ribbon of the Bavarian Military Merit Cross. The blue stripes are lost in the flash, but you are correct and it is still identifiable as that ribbon from where the narrow black stripes are near each edge.

I like the way the "ribbon in the button hole" method of wear was extended to a tunic with no exterior button holes! Soldiers didn't quite know what to do with the Bluse. I have a photo showing a group of soldiers who have all sewn a button on the outside flap of their Blusen in order to hang their field flashlights.
