Ulsterman Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 (edited) hee hee-now if you had the Lundstrom/Krause books....... Odd there is no SL or jubilee, but maybe not, given the specialist nature of the profession. That is a superb bar by the way. Congratulations.

Claudio Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Hi Bolgarin,Although lately there are many fake or newly mounted medal bars coming from Austria on Ebay with lots of Austrian medals in them, I have a good feeling about this one.But I don't think it's researchable from the German side of the rolls... maybe from the Austrian side, but it will be quite a long shot. For sure it was a German medical officer...Ciao,Claudio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Not... today.There were almost 300 doctors who received the Saxe-Meiningen War Honor Cross ("SMK" in Rank-List-speak). Many of them could be eliminated with enough time--too senior, or with other known awardsbut there would still probably be 50 or so for whom we have no other data...today...but Roman Slivin is working very hard on Austro-Hungarian awards to Germans--so when he has completed THAT work, we can compare who got BOTH the SMK and ?FJ4K (Franz Joseph Knight with War Decoration) and the Red Cross awards.THEN we will know.I agree, this is absolutely the medal bar of a medical doctor and not a military official. He was possibly a career regular army officer, since that Franz Joseph implies a rank of Stabsarzt or so, and if he was a Reserve or Landwehr doctor I'd have expected a reserve long service award. maybe not.But we will find out SOON-- maybe in 2009? It is a lovely bar! :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
