New Saxon ribbon bar

[Deruelle]

Hi everybody,

here is one of my new Saxon ribbon bar. The combo is very interresting. Indeed, Saxe connection with Saxe Weimar. It indicate that our man came from the Karabiner Regiment whose Chief was Wilhelm Ernst von Sachsen Weimar.

But we can find Finnland ribbons : from 1918 to 1939-40.

Some few names appears :

If the ALbert knight cross is 1st class with X, we have probably the following name :

Major a. D. Walther von Ehrenkrook

But if the Albert knight cross is from 2nd class with X, we have the following name :

Leutnant Ernst Guenther

Of course there is probably more names but for the moment that's all I have.

At some point when the Happy Day arrives when we have the list of Finnish awards to Germans, it may be possible to narrow this down when it is known who did NOT get a Cross of Liberty.

Only that one Saxon unit was present in Finland.

Walter Ulric (no h in his middle name) Adolf von Ehrenkrook was born in Berlin 17.08.83. His entry in the "Genealogisches Handbuch der Adeligen Häuser B Band I" from the outstanding C. A. Starke Verlag (1954) merely lists him as Major aD with Ehrenritter class of the Johanniter Order.
