Hi Christer,

What I see ! A photo of a saxon officer which is not in my collection ! Incredible !

Ok it's a very nice one indeed.

I read !

EK2, SH3, SA3aXKr, SV3a or bX, SA3a or bX, HHO3X, SSRM, SDA or SLD1

:cheeky:

I have one of the few Christophe., I love phots showing unusual awards and hoped it was a SSRM on his bar .

He shouldn´t be mpossible to find with SH3 , SA3aXKr , HHO3X and SSRM I think

I have started the search , only about 2600 SH winners left ......

Hmm 2717 S:t henry Knight awarded , 584 Sa3aXmKr and about the same for SSRM I should find him

So far I found 1 with all of the awards and SSRM but he was Major in 1924 and had a BZL3mEl also so probably not my guy .

Does anyone know if there is a book with the S:t Henry winners ?

Hi Christer

For Weber, Paul and Keil, the knight cross of St Henry of Saxe were awarded 2749 times.

In the Roth's book, "Die Verleihungen des KS ST-Heinrichs-Ordens und seiner Medaillen im Ersten Weltkrieg 1914-1918, he has foudn 2729 names.

in the book "Die Tragbaren Ehrenzeichen des Königreiches Sachsen 1806-1918",

-Goldene Medaille für Lebensrettung : 6

- Silberne Medaille für Lebensrettung : 388

- Bronzene Medaille für Lebensrettung : 391

I don't know if we can find the name but we can try.
