    Hi all,

    can someone give me the complete list of ww1 awards and decorations of Oberst der Artillerie Martin Julius Gerhard Kadelbach? I know his pre-war awards but of ww1 I only know EK2, EK1, Hausorden Hohenzollern, Bayern MVO + crown and swords, Sachsen Albrechtorder 1.class - are there more???

    thank you

    Hi Daniel,

    the problem is that the only portrait of him wearing awards I have is from 1900 with oly the 1897 medal on his breast.... some weeks later he had the crown order 4.class with swords and then the china medal with the "Peitang-Forts" clasp - but I have no photo with awards later than this...

    Not really much help for you, but that is a great picture. Did anyone notice he is hearing the Hut with the turn-up on the wrong side? Maybe for the photographers benefit to show the cockade. Since there is a white band on the hat I believe he was serving in East Africa at the time of the photo or modeled his field uniform after his return, before going to China.
