Komtur Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 This poor fellow got NO German order but three from the allies: Turkish Medjidjie 3rd class, Austrian Franz Joseph knight (with or without war decoration?) and Bulgarian Military Merit Order 5th class with war decoration.
Komtur Posted January 8, 2009 Author Posted January 8, 2009 It looks as there is the Aesculapian staff on his epaulette. Also because of his three red cross decoratians (Prussian, Austrian, Turkish) it seems to be an Oberstabsarzt?Best regards, Komtur.

Ulsterman Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Is that a gallipoli star I see down on the left?
Guest Rick Research Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.Beats me too! What IS that??????
Ulsterman Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Looks like a very important DR. attached to Abtlng. Pascha!RR, do you recognize him from the Ostasian vets magazines at all?
Guest Rick Research Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Nope-- group shots on newsprint with heads the size of peas, generally.Not that despite his exalted rank, there is no long service award on there. He looks too old to have been a regular, so I'd guess one of the strange (to me anyway) Landwehr types who got promoted without Actual Time Served. The Kyffh?userbund medal dates this 1923+...and I can't figure out what that blurry medal is after the Brunswick cross!!! :banger:
VtwinVince Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Almost looks like a St. Henry medal after the EA cross.
