Deruelle Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Hello everybody, here is another nice photo with a very interresting ribbon bar.I can't read the name, but it is probably Gustave ReichHer received the HHO3X, WMVO3, WF3aX, BZ3bX mi El, ?M3K.Many thanks to help me to id it correctly.Christophe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deruelle Posted April 26, 2009 Author Share Posted April 26, 2009 Focus on ribbon bar. I can't id clearly the 6th ribbon. First I thought to Hamburg Hanseaten cross but Gustav Reich never received it. Then I thought to Silesian Eagle 2nd class. But why it is before the Austrian ribbon ?Christophe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccj Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 The back of the cardChristopheNice, what determined whether the Austrian ribbons were decroated with the sowrds orthe wreath? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deruelle Posted April 26, 2009 Author Share Posted April 26, 2009 Maybe the tailor has not the good wreath at this time. I have seen several times wrong swords to illustrate some Austrian Military Merit medal with war decoration. Like always, after the WW1, each officers has done what they want againt regulations Christophe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naxos Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 (edited) The back of the cardChristopheChristophe. I believe the man's name is Pape or Papa (not sure on Heinz - scratchy writing - need Research Ricky's input)"Meinem verehrten Herrn Divisionskommandeur in Dankbarkeit und Treue gewidmet von Pape ?"

Deruelle Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share Posted April 27, 2009 Hi Naxos, I can't find one Pape with WMV3. And nobody with this name appeared in the Krause's book, Nicht W?rttemberger Ausz an Wutg 1914-1918.Christophe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deruelle Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share Posted April 27, 2009 So it may the good name MAny thanks for your help. Christophe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Papa = nickname, of course.Horrid handwriting.Reich would have been 68 in 1942. Got to be him from the KNOWN combination... just no clue what the "extra" was. Remember-- not everything made it into the Perosnal Nachrichten.You'd have to ask the W?rttemberg archives for his service record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
