Deruelle Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 (edited) Hi everybody, I'm searching for some date of awards of this officer.Here is what I have :Born : 5 April 1879, Died : 21 August 1956. 03.05.1897: Seekadett 30.09.1899: Leutnant zur See 15.03.1902: Oberleutnant zur See 09.02.1907: Kapit?ntleutnant 07.02.1914: Korvettenkapit?n 04.02.1920: char. Fregattenk?pitan 27.08.1939: char. Kapit?n zur SeeAwards :PlM, 7.03.1916.EK2, 25.02.1916.EK1, BMJ3 (Bayerisches Milit?r Max Joseph Ritterkreuz), 17.03.1916.SH3 (S?chsischer Milit?r St Heinrichs Orden Ritterkreuz), 6.03.1916.BV3 (Badisches Militarischer Karl Friedrich Verdienstorden Ritterkreuz), 10.03.1916.WMV3 (W?rttembergischer Milit?r Verdienstorden Ritterkreuz), 6.03.1916SF3aX (Sachsen Weimarischer Weissen Falken Orden Ritterkreuz), 1916BH (Bremenisches Hanseatenkreuz), 1916.HH (Hamburgisches Hanseatenkreuz), 1916.L?H (L?becckisches Hanseatenkreuz), 13.04.1916.HT (Hessische Tapferkeitsmedaille), LE (Lippisches Kriegsehrenkreuz f?r Heldenm?tige Tat), 1916?L (?sterreichischer Leopold Orden), 1917.TH (T?rkischer Eiserner Halbmond), 1918.In the Marine RL 1918, the X on the SF3a is missing, and there is nothing about the Austrian medals. I have only one photo of Dohna Schlodien with the Leopold Orden. But he probably received another Austrian medals. If someone has something, thanks for your help.Christophe Edited May 17, 2009 by Deruelle
Deruelle Posted May 17, 2009 Author Posted May 17, 2009 Dohna Schlodien wore the 1870 modele from Karl Friedrich Verdienstorden knight cross. The second modele will appear only at the end of the 1916.Here is a new close up of the Lippe cross for heroic deed. It seems to be rare for a Marine officer.
Christian J Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 Close up of the medal barChristopheThat is one hell of a bar. :love:

Guest Rick Research Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 He was only wearing his "top stuff" in the reduced awards portrait. Fashion statement stuff-- feigning modesty.WM3 06.03.16L?H 19.04.16Nobody liked him, but have never seen any surviving specific reasons.
