HeikoGrusdat Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Hello gentlemen, I have lost the name to this medal group.... I can`t find it anymore on my computer but I am shure that this group had been discussed some time ago. I had the name of the owner together with some scans of the group but everything is gone.... maybe someone can help me and give me the owners name again...thank you very much for your helpHeiko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webr55 Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Ah, so that grouping is yours!It was indeed discussed on that other place about which we have chosen to remain silent here... ... and it was in connection with one of my bars which also has the Messina ribbon. I then tried to find the owner of your bar. It COULD be:Albert Trenklerborn 20.2.1873, entered Navy 1892, Marine-Stabsing. 22.3.13, aD 13.9.1919 as char. Marine-Oberstabsing.CO4, OFA1. He was onboard SMS Hertha which was sent for the Messina relief campaign. Don't know about any China assignment, though. And there are some other possibilities, but Trenkler is the only one from the two 1908 Messina crews (Hertha and Victoria Louise) with this combination who definitely got the Oldenburg.
