High Saxon Awards?

[Chris Boonzaier]

Unteroffizier Alfred Bohmann of the IR139 was awarded an Annerkenungs Urkunde from Friedrich August in October 1918.

I assume this is an unusual honour as I have never seen one of these docs before.

Question is... where does this fit in? Must be seen as higher than an EK awarded by a divisional commander... but there was no medal to go with it....

Anyone have an idea if he had other interesting medals (i.e. more than EK2, EK1 etc?

Thanks

Chris

:Cat-Scratch: I've never HEARD of such a thing being issued by a Royal-- you sure it's not simply a generic printed form? NO unit stamp?

Bohmann-- neither St Henry Medals nor a General Decoration Cross X.

Hi,

nope, not done by the unit in the name of FA, but from from the chancellery with Blindprägesiegel.

Hope to have a pic in a day or so.

Best
