EK 1870 Researching an 1870 EK awardee

[dond]

If someone has access to the 1870 EK awardee list please check for an awardee last name Lierow.

Thanks in advance.

Don,

No one by that name on the 1877 list- 1st, 2nd or 2nd class on white ribbon.

It could be that he had already died by that date. Do you have any additional information such as unit?

Also, are you certain of the spelling? A Feldwebel Friedrich August Liesow (IR 20) was awarded the EK1.

that seems veeeery close... other ranks EK1 for 1870 sounds very sexy indeed.....

[dond]

Actually Lierow is the grandson's name.

Could we pin the 1870/1 EK recipient's list to the top of this forum please?

I'm pushing this up, for there isn't a pinned thread with the 1870 EK roll... but that would require someone to find it online... and I'm not aware it is to be found anywhere! The German DGO site has a hand-typed, well-readable pdf file list of the EK1 winners, made by a most diligent DGO member (who is a GMIC user as well: "NavalMark"). Probably exciting news for all those who hadn't found it before...

If you have or can use a US-based internet proxy, the EK list is here:

Thanks, Dave! I don't actually need it as I bought the list on CD some years back. This was rather asking for the benefit of others... major question now is if this thread should or should not be pinned!

[David M]

Hi! So what does the data on the CD look like? I have 1 EK2 recipient of the 1870s war I would like to know if he is on it: Secondelieutenant Louis Ernst Wilhelm Friedrich Müldner v. Mülnheim of GR 11

Its beautiful, thanks Jens!

This is great, could you look up Oberleutnant Mueller of the Feldartillerie? I don't have a first name, and I only know that he died in 1896.

Hi,
Müller is a very common family name, do you have any more information?
(for example: Iron Cross 1st or 2nd class, Regiment-name or Prussian, Bavarian, etc. ...)?
Regards, Jens

 

maybe: EK2 (black ribbon): Müller, Eugen Prem.-Lieut. im Großh.-Bad. Feld-Art.-Rgt.  ???

[VtwinVince]

Hi Jens,

He was a Prussian, judging from the medal bar, was a recipient of the EK2 on the combat ribbon, and took part in the 1864, 1866 and 1870 campaigns. He was at Dueppel and Alsen. More information I don't have, but I appreciate your help.

... thx & ok - maybe take a look for yourself: PDF iron cross 1870 - Mueller

Thanks for the link. I'm not sure if he was an Oberleutnant or Leutnant at the time of the award, so there are several candidates.
