tifes Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 Hi gens, I would very appreciate your help with following. On the picture you can see paper attached to the reverse side of the etui for Silver Military Merit Medal (Silberne Militär-Verdienstmedaille). I can't identify the name of the recipient. I read it as follows: "Oblt. i. if. d. 6. unknown abbreviation fri...ler (??) franz" which might be "Oberleutnant in Infanterie (??) der/des 6. ??? Fri...ler Franz" This is crucial to get the name and information about the person (1st Lieutenant) awarded. Unfortunately there is small distortion spot in the middle of the family name which complicates the situation. Identification of the unit would help in great manner to complete the name of the recipient. 2nd line is pretty clear "seit 28/6.1916 vermisst" - missing since 28/6/1916 (by the other words M.I.A.) and 3rd line "SMVM" (abbreviation for Silver Military Merit Medal) Any help with "decryption" and eventually identification of the recipient (according Military Schematics) would be great. Thank you. tifes
