Ulsterman Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 That's what I thought, but I have read two contemporary sources now that state the REO was awarded to officers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccj Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Were thee awards ever worn on the fireld gray uniform? If so, has anyone ever seen a surviving example? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Charles, Yes, they were, though it is seldom seen in period photos. They were ordered to be removed from the field uniform shortly after the war began. I have seen several of them dated 1913. Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Sweeney Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Attached is a 1907 Bavarion Rock to the 3rd FussArtillerie with prize attached. The prize is 1913 (or 1912) dated. Rock is buried at the moment and I can not tell from photo. The rock started out life as an Infantry Rock to the 19th Bav Inf and then was expertly changed to Fussartillirie when the 3rd was formed. I won't say I'm actually convinved that the prize is 100% original to the rock. It does not have a cloth backing--but does have the metal plate on the inside of the sleeve.

Odulf Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 In wear, a one-year volunteer Gefreiter of the II. Batl. 2. Badisches Grenadier-Regiment Kaiser Wilhelm I Nr.110 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishGunner Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Four Gefreiter of Niedersächsisches Feld-Artillerie-Regt. Nr.46 (Wolffenbüttel/Celle). The number on the shoulder strap and date on the preis are difficult to read... But 2. Battarie won the preis in 1913; the card is dated March 1914 from Wolffenbüttel.
