ccj Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 I am looking for photos of Germans wearing foreign awards and the various methods for wear. I've seen a few photos of the Turkish War Medal worn on the left breast. Were there regs for these awards? Also, I'd like to see how most of the Bulgarian decorations were worn. I think the only two foreign breast awards I seen in wear are the Turkish War Medal and the Bulgarian Bravery Order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccj Posted December 1, 2007 Author Share Posted December 1, 2007 Hi Christophe,Is it personal preference as to where someone placed the Turkish War Medal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deruelle Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Hi Charles, I think so because the regulation about the Turkish War medal : to be wore on the right side of the uniform. I remember one photo of Immelmann wearing his TWM just under his ribbon bar (see in O'Connor tome 3). The regulation is one thing. The officer can do a little like they want, remember they were officers. Christophe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Haynes Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 I suspect Germans wore the Harp Madalyasi 1915-22 (CE) wherever they wanted to. I doubt the issuing authority complained much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Haynes Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 I'm not sure what the Harp Madalyasi 1915-22 is? Can you show a picture.It is what is incorrectly called the 'Turkish War Medal' (and other things). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccj Posted December 2, 2007 Author Share Posted December 2, 2007 It is what is incorrectly called the 'Turkish War Medal' (and other things).Oh, I've never heard the correct name. How does that translate to english? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Danner Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Oh, I've never heard the correct name. How does that translate to english?It means "War Medal" in Turkish.It's actually Harp madalyası, without the dot over the "i", but that letter is not in the standard English alphabet.

Deruelle Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Yes Charles this is this photo. You have got a beautiful uniform here. It is possible to have a close up of the Lippe cross (for Franz).You can see in one photo I posted yesterady that the Bulgarian cross is wearging by Mackensen on the left side of the uniform not on the right. I think, not sure, that you may put a TWM on the right side of your uniform and the Bulgarian order on the left. RegardsChristophe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yasin Hilmi (commander of 20th Turkish Div.)Mackenson is left center. The other general I'm not 100% sure. Many Turkish and Austrian officer. Many are Generals Staff officers. I guess the rest would be attached to the staff.Who can name them all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
