    Hi Martin

    EK2

    Cross of Honour

    Silesian Eagle

    2 x Long Service

    Sudeten medal

    Memel Medal

    Saxon Zivilverdienstorden or Saxe-Coburg-Gotha Life Saving Medal ???

    Feuerwehr Ehrenzeichen

    Not sure exactly what the Saxon one is , but exactly the same ribbon was used for the Saxon Fluthelferorden given to those who performed rescue work during the floods of 2002

    Best ask on the Imperial Forums for confirmation of the one in Saxon colours.

    Thanks Gordon,

    the ribbon bar belonged to Ulrich Brocksien,the Commander of the ill-fated second cruise of the Hilfskreuzer Komet.He went down with his ship on 14 Oct.1942 in the English Channel.

    Regards,Martin.

    Daniel,

    thank you for your input,much appreciated.

    Gordon,

    from what i know so far,the ribbon bar came from part of a grouping from the family.Unfortunately,the group was split up.

    I will be getting more detailed information in the next few days,i hope.

    Regards,Martin.

    2nd last is nothing Saxon.

    It is the Italian Messina Earthquake medal.

    Greetings

    Daniel,

    would this be the medal of 1908?

    After some searching i found that Brocksien was born in 1898.This would make him only 10 years old when the medal was introduced,if it was introduced in 1908?

    Regards,Martin.
