Schießplatzmeister Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 Hello Gents:Rick thanks for all of your very thorough work. Thank you also webr55 for finding Rick's old thread. All of this information sure makes this "ugly" little ribbon bar a bit more interesting!"SPM"
saschaw Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 Well, working from the assumption that the Red eagle is most likely 4th and the Crown most likely 3rd ... @Heiko's bar:Has anyone noticed that the RAO and KO ribbons are mounted in front of the Johanniterorden which is a neck badge? I'd rather think both they are not on the bar as well, being 2nd classes ... PS:Sorry for "rewarming" all those nearly one year old threads ...
Daniel Krause Posted September 7, 2006 Posted September 7, 2006 Hi Guys,I?m shocked......THAT is right!!!!!This funny guy did really wear a whole bar nearly HALF OF IT composed from non-conform Kleindekorationen!!!! The tip was THE clue. So it costed just 5 minutes to find him with my ?Wunderwaffe?.THIS GUY had: Red Eagle 2 w.Oaks , Crown 2 with star, EK 2 1870, Johanniter, XXV, 1870 medal, SWA medal, Centenary, Bav.MVO Officers pinback, Hannover Langensalza 1866, Hannover Jubilee 100, Oldenburg OV3bX, Ernestinian Commander with star, Sa-Meiningen cross, Lippe-Detmold 3rd class with X ? here WRONG ribbon, W?rttemberg Crown knight with lions, Belgian Leopold Officer with X, Danish Dannebrog knight, Italian Crown Officer, Russian Stanislaus 2nd class.So THIS GUY should normally wear 2 Stars, 4 neck crosses, 1 pinback cross and only 14 awards on the bar.THIS GUY was born 27th of July 1839. HE served obviously in the Hannover army , last as Rittmeister in the K?nigs- Husaren regiment before he went in Prussian service. HE went then in the Hussar regiment 15 and raised up to Commander of the 9th Cav Brigade. HE became MajGen in 1891 and made LtGen in 1896.Already in Pension he became a writer. Look for HIM in google and You find pleeenty of famous books written from HIM.According the Honor rank list HE was not recalled for WW1, but it seems he was still more or less involved.HE died in 1918.Who is HE? Friedrich Freiherr von Dincklage- Campe!!!!Heiko, congratulations!!!!! Thats the most odd but unquestionable original Prussian ribbon bar I?ve ever ID?d.Best regardsDaniel
webr55 Posted September 7, 2006 Posted September 7, 2006 Wow, that is a 'Wunder' ID!! Excellent job, Daniel!
Guest Rick Research Posted September 7, 2006 Posted September 7, 2006 Having spoken with Daniel earlier today on the phone, I went through the Sachsen-Meiningen War Honor Cross rolls andthere he was, Generalleutnant zD Freiherr von Dincklage-Campe of Charlottenburg, 16 December 1915 page 130and drumroll please--"Nichtkombatant" ribbon!!!! So much for the Xs! Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnd, his 1908/09 Orders Alkmanac entry MISTAKENLY showed him with BOTH the Hannoverian Langensalza Medal AND the Prussian 1866 Cross:[attachmentid=53034]DOHHHH !!!!!! So, despite all his tricks... the Baron could not fool US!
HeikoGrusdat Posted September 8, 2006 Author Posted September 8, 2006 @Daniel: Thank you very very much for the help and the great Wunderwaffeneinsatz... @Sascha: Thank you for THE tip....!!! @all others: great work as always!!!! another bar has a name now - great!!!!!!
webr55 Posted September 8, 2006 Posted September 8, 2006 I can add: He is listed in the Hannoverian 1866 RL as Rittmeister C. (?) Dincklage, seniority 19.5.1858. He was raised to Prussian nobility later.
Guest Brian von Etzel Posted September 8, 2006 Posted September 8, 2006 All these fantastically id'd ribbon bars would make a great book. Another one pulled from the past. Great!
webr55 Posted September 8, 2006 Posted September 8, 2006 (edited) Found this on the Net, and I thought I'd have to show it here: A book by Baron Dincklage-Campe, published in 1895, "Wie wir unser Eisernes Kreuz erwarben" (How we won our Iron Cross). Doesn't this look great? Edited November 14, 2017 by webr55
HeikoGrusdat Posted September 9, 2006 Author Posted September 9, 2006 by the way.... has anybody of you a photo of this man?
Tom Y Posted September 9, 2006 Posted September 9, 2006 If anyone is interested, Abebookshas a modest selection of his books and Clarke's Africana & Rare Books in Capetown has his DEUTSCHE REITER IN SUDWEST on auction.
Leutwein Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 A bit too late but I think it is also of interest to see a pic of Dincklage-Campe. Unfortunately without the GSWA-medal (steel). But also without the prussian 1866-cross. Best wishes Karsten
HeikoGrusdat Posted September 3, 2009 Author Posted September 3, 2009 Hi Karsten, it is NEVER to late to add informations to old threads - especially when they are as beautiful as this photo !!! :beer:
Guest Rick Research Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 Unfortunately, wasn't this one of the ribbon bars stolen from your house by the Turkish thugs? So it now resides in some CRIMINAL'S "collection" on the Bosporus. :violent:
