Medal ID

[TerryG]

Could you please tell me what the medal in the centre is?

[TerryG]

and could anyone help with reading/translating this and in particular the name...?

[Freiwillige]

It seems to me this Oberst from the 10. (Sächs.) Infanterie-Regiment wears Saxonian Albrechtskreuz mit Schwertern.

The photo has dedication on its back written in Paris on Christmas 1941.

Paris hey? is that what it says? Thanks for that. I really cannot decipher these things. Any ideas about the name?

Hi Terry,

Meinem lieben Entner

zur Erinnerung an gemeinsam

verlebte Tage.

Paris, Weihnachten 1941

Wuttig, Hptm

Hptm = Hauptmann = Captain

I think, that he is of the Infanterieregiment 101, stationed in Sachsen.

Many thanks Gents. Great to put a name to the face :beer:

He's a Hauptmann dR from the double shoulder board underlay with regimental numbers.

The only Wuttig on the published SA3bX roll was Lt dR Ernst Wuttig, who got his Albert 19.11.16 in 6th Artillery Munitions Column of the XIIth Army Corps. I can't imagine that could possibly have been him, so he must be among the 1918 recipients who were never gazetted.

Thanks for checking Rick.
