    Possibly EK2 1914, Austria Marianenkreuz, Landwehrdienstauszeichnung 2. Klasse, Austria Ehrenzeichen vom Roten Kreuz 2. Klasse.

    Very cool pic. Yes, these are two Austrian medic crosses. But why he's wearing EK ribbon in the buttonhole plus Ek on medal bar? Did he just put the medal bar on for that special occasion, and didn't remove the ribbon from buttonhole, where he usually wore it, or is the ribbon in buttonhole for something else?

    Why a EKII on a ribbon bar or medal bar and also a EKII ribbon in the button hole? I've seen this in other photos too.

    I think that´s the case. Possibly the ribbon in the buttonhole, worn daily, is sewed with the uniform and therefore can no be removed easily, if one decided to wear the whole orderbar.
