    WOW! :Cat-Scratch::jumping:

    Some amazing "random" awards in there (quite a few of which we now have the Rolls for :whistle: ) but

    Chris B will take note of the TINY number of "Anerkennungurkunden" :cheers:

    I am FLOORED by the HUGE discrepancy between the vastly more Iron Crosses than "native" Friedrich August Medals-- would NEVER have expected that. :Cat-Scratch: That seems to suggest, in contrast with other states which handed out their OWN awards, that

    Saxony handed out Prussian Iron Crosses BEFORE their own basic enlisted ranks' medals! :speechless1:

    Went away and compared some of the totals from the regimental summary above with the actual Rolls

    Listed:

    13 SMMs (yes—or at least 13 have already been transcribed by me into early 1916 at the 7,000 mark)

    there was also a single SMK not listed in the summary

    “1 MStMV”—actually 3 to 2 people—an officer StH-R holder had both the 1st AND 2nd Class

    2 Weimar White Falcons-KnightsX—neither on the existing Rolls

    2 Ernestine-KnightsX—yes

    1 Ernestine Merit CrossX—yup (and that’s him in the photo)

    1 BZ-Knight X—actually there were 3

    “1 Baden MKFVM” is probably a mistake for the ordinary Silver Merit Medal on MKFVO “war” ribbon

    4 Saxe-Weimar “awards”—yes, 2 Gold and 2 Silver General Decorations X

    1 Lübeck Hanseatic Cross—actually 2
