The War Horse award

[Chris Boonzaier]

Although "3rd Reich" in the way that the Hindenburg Crosses are 3rd Reich, I see it as WW1 because it was for WW1.

Technically it may not even be an award, but a distinction... In 1935 (I think) the NS Animal protection association created an award, given out just 1000 times.

It was in the form of a small Plaque that was to be put on the stable of Horses that had served in WW1 and were still alive.

In addition, they would get a bag of oats a year as a treat.

On the plaque was an iron Cross and the word "Kriegskamerad"

Does anyone have any further information about this?

Thanks

Chris
