Chris Boonzaier Posted March 12, 2010 Author Share Posted March 12, 2010 And this guy, probably also an old baldy but hiding it under a hat seems to have 56 on his shoulder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Lets see your pics... Old Baldy seems to have been in the 78th IR... Or RIR, or AR Chris, I like to think it's the IR78. This was the "local" regiment for my wife's family, with her grandfather and several of his brothers having served in the regiment. Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saschaw Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 I found this one here - but honestly, I do not know what it is. No EK2 so sorry for being offtopic - but two awards in the button hole though. BMV5cX and.. Baden merit medal? It were likely as it is an KB "8er", but... I'm not sure here... Help appreciated!

Ulsterman Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Not by the size I reckon. The medal I think is the Bavarian 1913 LS medal-given the other Bavarian cross. Of course, perhaps it might just be the bravery medal, but I'd be very surprised not to see an EK2 at least with that at the button hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Ulsterman: I think that you are correct that this is a most likely a Bavarian long-service medal (9 year, 12 year, or 2nd Class Landwehr). I do not think that it is a Bavarian Bravery medal as the ribbon is not the correct color and because it is in the inferior position [it would usually (but not always) be worn above other awards].

saschaw Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Thank you! Tom, yours might be a Hassian bravery medal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
