Gordon Williamson Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 I thought it would be interesting to have a thread on award ceremonies for KM badges. I'll start the ball rolling - please post yours. There are hundreds of RK award ceremonz photos out there. Lets see what we can find for lower awards. First, here we have Horst von Schroeter awarding the U-Boat Clasp in Silver to his crew members. The badges are being carried by the Leutnant at right.
