New Saxon ribbon bar

[Deruelle]

Hi everybody,

here is another new Saxon ribbon bar for NCO. The fact that there are two long service ribbon is interresting but between those ribbons, we find ribbon for Albert medal 4th class without X. This is not so common at all

Hi Chris,

It may have been awarded as a non-cambatant award?

Or maybe he didn't bother putting the swords device on?

Perhaps one of the long service ribbons is representing the Saxe-Altenburg Medal for Bravery 1915?

Kind regards

Yup. I would think the 3rd ribbon is the Altenburg Bravery Medal too, and then it is in perfect precedence.

He must have been some sort of Landwehr NCO-- lower military rank than his civil service job?

Not to unlikely to get an Albrecht (cross) pre-war and then only a FAM?! How about Altenburg jubilee medal? Would match the Altenburg bravery medal...

PS: used to be mine... :whistle:

Doing the SMM rolls, it is amazing how many Saxon Feldwebels and so on didn't get an EhrenkreuzX so... nothing higher than a sFAM.

I think this would be explained by a difference in status civilian/military.
