VtwinVince Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Great postcard, especially since the first guy has the SAOmK and I think it's a first class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deruelle Posted April 30, 2009 Author Share Posted April 30, 2009 Thanks for your comments. Indeed the first officer has got SA3a m. Kr. The most i!portant is the fact he received the SV3aX. This example is against the rules. For recognition of bravery, the officer can received lower medals and then higher. But it's not the case here. He probably received SH3, then SA3ax and then crown to his SA3aX. Thsi man is probably a captain or a Major.Christophe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingo Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 There are two men with the name Eibenstein with the St. Henry.Rudolf and Benno Eibenstein. I think they must be brothers, because they have the same place of birth.And the men in the pic could be brothers, ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
