dedehansen Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 Hello Gentlemen, I hope that someone can help me. Several years ago I got this medal bar, the family told me that the recipient of the bar was an doctor after the 1 WW, thats all the family new. The engarving on the Militär Karl Friedrich Verdienstmedaille reads as follows" Dem Tapfern Becker " , the problem is that there are 3 recipients with the name Becker in WW 1. May be someone can help me to get the right name ! Sincerley dedehansen
Chris Boonzaier Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 CAn you give any info on the 3 Beckers you know of? Best Chris
dedehansen Posted September 8, 2011 Author Posted September 8, 2011 Hello Chris, I know of: Becker Alexander, Gefreiter Reserve Infanterie Regiment 238 Becker Friedrich Ludwig, Vizefeldwebel Infanterie Regiment 470 Becker Viktor, Unteroffizier Reserve Infanterie Regiment 40 Best dedehansen
Chris Boonzaier Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 It is a wild guess... but I bet that a Vizefeldwebel in an active regt was probably active before the war, and a slight chance that he may have been a bit old after the war to start to study? (even 30 is slightly old) If he was a doctor, I would imagine a DRK or Volkspflege medal? Our guy on the right makes him a little "Beamtisch"... Maybe he was a Dr. of something other than medical doctor? All the above are just a few thoughts to get the ball rolling. Best Chris
