Daniel Krause Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 nice one!!! Prussia+wartime-only bar of Cdr Franz Christoph Schroeder. The Colonial Medal is for Venezuela, Mecklenburg is indeed Schwerin. He had as well a EK1 and the Oldenburg Cross 1st class. Not shown are his pre-war foreign orders, Siam Crown Order 4th cl, Turkish Osmanie Order 4th cl. and the Turkish silver Liakat.

Not shown are his pre-war foreign orders, Siam Crown Order 4th cl, Turkish Osmanie Order 4th cl. and the Turkish silver Liakat. Greetings Daniel Thank you very much Daniel really very helpful. I knew he served on S.M.S. Charlotte. A question: you said pre War foreign awards were Siam Crown Order 4th cl, Turkish Osmanie Order 4th cl. and the Turkish silver Liakat Medal. Not the "Türkischer Medschidie Orden" as an other member stated. So what is TsM in the rangsliste?
