EuRob Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Hey DeruelleCarl Eduard is that by any chance Charles Edward Coburg (British Royal family)? It does look like him and the names are nearly the same and I believed he was a duke in Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. Watched a tv programme recently about this man and saw your medal and kinda made a connection.Pretty sad how his life turned out torn between his roots and duty but thats another story.Cheers Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul C Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I knew that books very out but that is the first time I have seen them. For those who research medal bars and riibon bar these award rolls are a must have. The ranklists are NOT enough since these do not given 1914-18 awards. The ranklists are good for pre-war and foreign awards. I can not stress enough that if you do not have the research material (ranklists and award rolls) that you can not do the research!!
