Reuss war merit cross

[pinpon590]

Hello !

One of my friend has presented this picture (with the owner's permission).

Are the roll of reuss avalaible ? Is it possible to know who is this officer ? With only 97 awards may it be possible ?

:cheers:

Hi JB,

There is a little mistake. The Carl Eduard War Cross was awarded 97 times, not the Reuss award. For that one, we don't have rolls, so we don't know how many were awarded during WW1.

Is that because they dont exist or that no-one took an interest yet?

Hi David,

There is a lot of collectors of Reuß in Germany but who want to spend his time to search and copy all the rolls. We need more people like Daniel to do the research. Then after that, Rick will transcribe them for all of us.
