    Here are three Sachsen artillery NCOs.

    The center sergeant is from FAR 68 (a Sachsen regiment) and has two ribbons on his bar; I propose Friedrich August Medaille and EK2 (And of course, a black Verwundetenabzeichen)

    The sergeant on the right is from FAR 77 (another Sachsen regiment) and has three ribbons on his bar. I propose the first two are Sachsen, one probably the Friedrich August Medaille, the other I do not know. The third would be an EK2 with ribbon bar device. (And of course, a black Verwundetenabzeichen)

    The obergefreiter - can't determine his regiment - on the left has what appears to be only one ribbon; could be either Friedrich August Medaille or EK2.

    The photo was taken around 1921and they are brothers; their names are on the reverse.

    Any help with identifying the ribbons more precisely is appreciated...

    Most likely they are both Friedrich-August-Medaillen, one bronze and one silver.

    The only Herbert Hessel in the Verlustlisten was born on 1 October 1891 in Leipzig-Neustadt. There are several Alfreds, all Saxon natives.
