Paul C Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 I am somewhat familiar with the China, SW Africa and Colonial medal, but not a informed as I would like to be. That is why I am starting this thread. There seems to be a large amount of interest in the medals but I don't think we have a thread on them. I would lke to start with maybe pictures of each medal and what the award criteria was. Maybe we can also include information about the different actions in China, during the Boxer revolt, I think, SW Africa and the colonies. I think this would be of benefit to all members.
Deruelle Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 Hi Paul, Good idea. I have got only DSWA medal and some ribbon bars with China campaign, and African campaign I recommend the excellent review Orden und Militaria Magazine which talk about Colonies. Nr. 43 August 1991 "Der Feldzug in China 1900-1901" and Nr. 68"Die K?mpfein Deutsch-S?dwest 1904-1908".RegardsChristophe
Deruelle Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 I have Prussian Crown Order 4th class with X. 338 were give between 1904 and 1908 for the African campaign.
Deruelle Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 Some ribbon bars with China, and DSWA ribbons.
Ulsterman Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 Rick Lundstrom's famous article on the Seymour expedition in the JOMSA is also a must-have.
Deruelle Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 Africa part 2.I hope that what do you want.RegardsChristophe
HeikoGrusdat Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 Hi colonialists... the problem is that every german colonial campaign and it`s medals and clasps, it`s ribbon bars and medal bars, it`s award documents and award criterias is a universe for itself... I think you can`t open a thread and put as much colonial information in it as possible - you won`t find anything again after some days...Make one thread for China, one for DSWA, one for the other colonial actions - then you have a chance to see a lot and find it again greetingsHeiko
Paul C Posted January 17, 2006 Author Posted January 17, 2006 Heiko, You make a very good point. All three medals are a very broad topic. Let's close the thread and I will start a new one on just the China medal.
HeikoGrusdat Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 Paul, that`s a good choice... I will join your new thread today in the evening with some material, I just have to make 1357 scans...
