@ Chris,

Ein Soldat aus dem Mannschaftsstand mit Tapferkeitsmedaille, der 1849, 1866 und 1870/71 mit dabei war und seine anrechenbare Dienstzeit über 40 Jahre war. Nach dem Ausscheiden aus dem Militärdienst bekam er wohl dann noch die Zivilverdienstmedaille. Kann man auch in meinem Buch nachlesen. Sh auch hier:

It really is a beautiful medal bar. Also note the quality of the MVK. The originals all have a real golden 
front-medallion. The only manufacturers were Leser and Hemmerle.

No, but I managed o narrow it down to the unit as there was only one Bavarian unit in the Ostsee-Division. Perhaps more your taste as it was the Kgl. Bayerische Gebirgs-Artillerie-Abteilung Nr. 2, which had previously a part of the Alpenkorps before being transferred to the Ostsee-Division which fought in Finland.

There were three Bavarian units in the Ostsee-Division.

• bayer. Kraftwagen-Maschinengewehr-Kompanie, zugeteilt dem Radfahr-Bataillon Nr. 5
• bayer. Feldlazarett Nr. 23
• bayer. Gebirgs-Artillerie-Abteilung Nr. 2 (bayer. Gebirgs-Kanonen-Batterie Nr. 7, bayer. Gebirgs-Kanonen-Batterie Nr. 12, bayer. Gebirgs-Batterie Nr. 8 (H))

Good to know, didn't know about these. Anyways, the Tirol connection does in my opinion confirm it the the Gebrigs-Artillerie-Abteiling 2 which was a former unit of the Alpenkorps which fought in Tirol.

Waldo, you make me Sabber!

Do you know if there is any research possibility for researching WW1 recipients through the former association of winners? I mean over and above what is in the regular archive records. I would like to know about postwar occupation, possible photos etc?

[Dansson]

Waldo, wow! Amazing bars!

[waldo]

Thanks

@ Chris: If I understand you correctly with my bad English, do you want to know dates of the postwar 
association of the Order of the Bavarian Medal for Bravery? (The medal for the bravery was 
not a order, but they called themselves after the war ....)

Hi,

neh, ich meinte ob mann was etwas über die nachkriegs Zeit erfahren könnte. Beruf, Todesdatum, adresse .. vielleicht Fotos aus dem Vereins heft etc.

Ich weiss nicht was für unterlagen noch existieren...

[Chris Boonzaier]

For example... maybe they have photo records?

Check out how this gentlemen wears his medals

I have estates where the TM was not mounted on the medal bar at all. These medal bars are always made after 1918

Unfortunately, I have almost no pictures that I can publish.

 Andreas (Spolei) certainly has several of them.
