Guest Rick Research Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Ludwig Magdeburg, born Wiesbaden 20 February 1840. Retired as an Oberst, listed in the 1908-09 Orders Almanac.The only change to his awards as shown was a retirement upgrade of Crown Order 3rd in 3rd place on medal bar to a Crown Order 2nd Class. The last medal on his medal bar is the Hessian campaign medal for 1866.Italian Maurice and Lazarus and Luxemburg Oak Crown-Commanders are quite interesting-- will have to hunt down his 1890s service to see how those came up. An odd pair!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Magdeburg's Ordensalmanach entry:he died 25 June 1908 so this is actually a posthumous entry.He commanded 7. Gendarmerie Brigade (M?nster) 22.03.89-19.07.92 and 11. Gend Brig (Kassel) 20.07.92 until retired 07.10.98.So he is wearing Gendarmerie, not army, uniform.
