Mattyboy Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Hi all, The attached photo was sold on ebay recently. I believe it is the same man. Does anyone know what the award is above the Johanniter? Close up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayern Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Hello, the last pic shows a Field Officer of the Garde Jaeger . The uniform appears to be a Kunftige Friedensuniform , and the transversal stripes under the Shoulderboards denotes a retired officer, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn J Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Matty, it is a pre-war photograph of Konrad Graf Finck von Finckenstein, commanding the Garde-Jäger-Bataillon. The award above the Johanniter is the 1906 Kaiser's Erinnerungszeichen zur silbernen Hochzeit (silver wedding jubilee badge).
