erikscollectables Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 (edited) Another question where I hope help might be here. This portrait was made by Robert Fuchs (signed R Fuchs Im Felde 1917) and I found it in Hungary some years back http://neustift-am-w...ler/fuchs1.html I have no idea who the officer might be. Any ideas and or help is welcome. He has only one shoulder loop it seems but that would be on the wrong side for a single loop I think? He has an Iron Crown Order 3rd class which is not bad for a Captain (and a MVK3rd class and silver and bronze MVM I guess) Next to his EK2 ribbon there is a ribbon I could not identify. Any ideas? Based on the info on R. Fucs it is probably the Italian front, Isonzo. Many thanks in advance for any input, Erik Edited June 14, 2012 by erikscollectables Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saschaw Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 The red and white ribbon might be for the Ottoman war medal, so called "Eiserner Halbmond". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saschaw, thanks for the hint! Just checked in the book on the War Medal (by M. Demir Erman) I just bought last week. Looks like that ribbon indeed but I did not make the link myself! I just posted on the Turkish forum for further confirmation! Thanks, Erik Edited June 15, 2012 by erikscollectables Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
