Claudio Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 14 (!) place old style ribbon bar, big brother of no. 17... Could be the same von Flotow? Link Char. Generalmajor Erich von Flotow
Claudio Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 My last acquisition... small but indeed very "colorful"... Interesting for a Saxon field officer to have the Carola-Medaille's ribbon.
Deruelle Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Very nice Claudio. I found that some men may received this medal. Now I don't know if there is roll about this cross but it's unusual. Congrats I have already posted this one in another topic but this one is more appropriate. Christophe
Deruelle Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Claudio, I have just seen on Hermann Historica online catalog, that another Saxon officer received the Carola medal. It is the lot n° 5199. Christophe

Dave Danner Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 Claudio, Your new 2 BIIIG ones are really AMAZING!!! Who was he? No prince, no General, a "simple" Captain at a Cadet School! Karl von Flotow, born 1873, in 1914 Capt at Kadettenhaus Karlsruhe, Major a.D. after WW1. Had RAO4, KO4, Joh, HEK3, AB3b, MG3, OV3b, EH3a, SLH3, DD3, RumK4, SE4, SMV1 before the war, no idea what he did in WW1 and if he got more awards. Greetings Daniel Karl von Flotow was promoted to Major on 8 November 1914. He was already a Major a.D. in the 1917 edition of Gothaisches genealogisches Taschenbuch der uradeligen Häuser. Since he was a native of Mecklenburg-Schwerin but did not receive the Militärverdienstkreuz by 1917 when he was a.D., I would guess he didn't have much wartime service (I only have MMVs through September 1917). Regards
