dwmosher Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 From a friend's collection, these are the awards of Generalmajor Max Aloysius Schlee-Pasha who was the Chief of Dept V (Weapons and Munitions) and Ottoman GHQ-Inspector General for the Turkish Field Artillery from 1915-18. In 1918 he was the last commander of the XIII Army Corps (Wurttemberg) Field Artillery. Schlee was one of my friend's great grandfathers.

dwmosher Posted February 20, 2006 Author Share Posted February 20, 2006 I'm sure my friend would be pleased that you all enjoyed seeing Schee's awards. I can only blow up the previous picture to show the medal bar until I can see him again to take some better shots.DaveHere's another picture of Schlee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeikoGrusdat Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 I have one more question, maybe you can ask your friend...Are all these things put on the walls for presentation the ORIGINAL medals, medal bars, shoulder bords, cufflinks etc of the former owners that survived 2 wars in the family???? Or are these arrangements new made with new material???I ask this because there is a lot of stuff of each officer and it is not normal to safe all this over hundred years, especially if one of these officers were executed for being involved in the assault on Hitler... I have heard that the orders and decorations of these officers were taken away and definatelynot given back to the family...Maybe we can talk about it...greetingsHeiko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 By far, one of the nicest displays I've seen in a very long time. The Ordensspange is especially nice with a mounted W?rttemberg Order of The Crown w. Swords. An exceptionally rare piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VtwinVince Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 An incredible display, and quite remarkable that it survived intact. Most of my family material was lost in the last war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not many of those around!!! An absolutely fantastic group!Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
