westfale Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Hi, a few days ago I got this picture from a club member - thanks heiko! - and would like to show it here. A proud man, part of the "freiwillige kriegsfürsorge" wearing his red cross-medal 3rd class. Nothing special, but for me not often seen... regards westfale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westfale Posted March 15, 2010 Author Share Posted March 15, 2010 Hallo Heiko, HOAH and cheers! Really amazing picture - never seen a red-cross bar before! Jürgen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeikoGrusdat Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Went through the hidden archives of Mordor and found two more of this branch.... First one is Carl August Berthold Hermann STURHAHN from Lippe who got (very interesting!) the Housorder 4.class Abt.B (civil honour cross) of Lippe-Detmold in 1913 as a volunteer red cross member during the Balkan war !!!

HeikoGrusdat Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 and the second one is unfortunately still without name , just the date 1902 on the reverse and the photographers stamp from Limbach in Sachsen.... can someone tell me please what exactly medal N°1 on the bar is ?
