Guest Rick Research Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Yes indeed. Though there was a different system for the combatant ones apparently linked either to calendar years or pages in a volume, I am now more convinced than ever that the neat little number at bottom left DOES indicate a continuous line by line "lost" Roll entry. Because here's mine from 4 months later---2130 number higher: This was the ONLY thing my guy got, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 BTW, State Minister (von) Wolff hand autographed every single blessed one of all types of these documents. Maybe that's why he was ennobled at some point during the war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Danner Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 There are at least two numbering systems. One starts D0000 and the other K0000. At the beginning of the awarding of the cross, the D numbers were used. They must have run out or changed at some point, as all later awards start with K. Where noted in the award files, I wrote down the number and date, but it was not always clear. If there was a roll or index, it is gone, as are at least half of the award file folders.
