Leutwein Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 E.M. = Centenary medal and Südwestafrika-Denkmünze aus Bronze Karl Riegel received the MEZ2 AKO 20th March 1906 as a Unteroffizier der Landwehr 1 Riegel came at the end of 19th century (so between 1897 1899) to GSWA and served there as a railway official. In 1914 (12th or 13th May 1914) "Bahnhofsverwalter" Riegel received vacation and left GSWA on one of these days (12th or 13th May 1914). So the WW1 stopped his return to GSWA.
