Martin W Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 I think this photo has to be one of my best finds in 2008.I have been collecting KM photo's for a long time and this is the first one i have obtained with the Blockade Breaker badge in wear.He is also wearing a wound badge of the "cut-out" type.Regards,Martin.
Martin W Posted January 1, 2009 Author Posted January 1, 2009 The above photo is a great compliment to this nice Schwerin zincer i found earlier in the year.Regards,Martin.
TerryG Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 Very nice photo indeed! As you say, not easy to find such photos. Here's one from my collection. Small format so not too clear.
TerryG Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 I also have this one but I guess he is Merchant Navy?

Martin W Posted January 1, 2009 Author Posted January 1, 2009 Terry,thanks for showing your photo's,excellent.Chris,there was a 1936 cut-out WB,i beleive.The swaz is barely visible on my photo with a magnifier.Cheers,Martin.
Guest Rick Research Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 No, that's a 1918 with shine reflecting on the helmet. His ribbon bar is 1914 EK2 and Hindenburg Cross X. He must have been about 42-43 in that photo but could pass as late 20s.The man lounging against the railing must have been a steward, since his jacket is single breasted and not the two rows of buttons an officer wore.Very nice photos indeed. :cheers:

John R Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 (edited) My photo attached. It is around 8 1/2 inches by 11 inches. Writing on the back, apparently was in a frame at one time. John Edited January 4, 2009 by John Robinson
