Hi everybody,

For the wedding birthday, I bought to my wife two nice photos of Saxon officer. I have id him as Major Severin Schroeder. Before the war he was in the I.R. Nr. 103

Very nice photo with Saxon medals and Z?hringen order.

Christophe-- that is later General der Infanterie Albrecht Schubert (1886-1966)--Knight's Cross and German Cross in Gold.

George Peterson in Virginia sold all of Schroeder's award documents and commissions back in the late 1970s, but had no photos. Evil Ricky had SOME of Schroeder's papers a couple of years back and may have scans of them still.

Schroeder (1880-1953) was later a Luftwaffe Generalmajor (E).

I give to my wife all my Saxon collection. She bought some ribbon bars and some photos. She collect only Saxon items.

When she has the time she buy some ribbon bars for me Now I will see what happened to my son. Like he has only 10 months it is too earlier to speak collection with him

Hmm, that's a relly nice photo - but what he's wearing between the Z?hringer L?we and the Austrian MVK3KD? There is something, isn't it?

This here must be Schubert's ribbon bar - right?

Non-machting device on BZ3bXE ribbon, no device at all on SV3aX ribbon, and order screwed up a bit again...
