    I don't have photographic or documentary evidence for the Ehren-und Erinnerungskreuz des Marinekorps Flandern, but Böse served as the Divisionsarzt der I. Marinedivision, Marinekorps Flandern (02.12.1917 - 06.02.1918). This made him eligible to recieve the Flandernkreuz, and I am pretty sure he received it.

     

    Regarding the Ehrenkreuz für Frontkämpfer. What do you mean a source for this one? Firstly, it can be seen on Böse's? medal bar that you posted in the first post of this thread. Secondly, every veteran of WW1 was eligible for the Ehrenkreuz für Frontkämpfer. Since Böse saw frontline combat, he is no exeption.

    Thank you for your answer.

     

    Sorry, my question wasn´t precise enough - I thought there could be a printed source or a portrait of Böse showing these two decorations.

    A little contribution about the combatant or no combatant classes of decorations and how were attributed . Roughly if you were positioned in the rear of the front but under the range of fire of the Heavy Artilley of the Enemy you were eligible for a combattant cross . In WW2 the Long Range Bomber expanded the limits of the combattant . The famous German Doctor Ferdinad Sauerbruch was Medical General der reserve in the Wehrmacht Heer . He was serving in Paris when he was awarded the Knight Cross with swords of the War Merit Cross . But with swords why? because the Allied Bombers had bombed the Headquarters of the Army Group in which Sauerbruch was Medical Counsellor
