Freiwillige Posted January 17, 2010 Posted January 17, 2010 Could you please help me to identify the cross worn just below EKI by this Reichswehr member? I've been told it could be a kind of Johanniterorden award.
Freiwillige Posted January 17, 2010 Author Posted January 17, 2010 Here's a fragment of the photo with that mysterious cross.
Mike Dwyer Posted January 17, 2010 Posted January 17, 2010 (edited) He's a knight of the Johanniter Order. Those crosses are fairly common on Imperial era officer's uniforms. Kaiser Wilhelm had one on every German uniform that he owned. The cross in the photo has been cut a bit "fatter" than usual, but it's still the same cross of white cloth. http://www.johanniter.de/ Edited January 17, 2010 by Mike Dwyer
