redeagleorder Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Nice ribbon bars. Can anyone tell me what the (I assume foreign award) in last place is? Is it the Swedish Order of the sword?
Chris Boonzaier Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Very cool... I wonder what Germans did to get the swedish one.... I have bavarian leib Regt guy who had one.....
christerd Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 I think the last one is Order of the Gold Lion of the House of Nassau. (long name) Christer
Glenn J Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Difficult to say why he was awarded the Sword Order. According to the 1925 Swedish Court and State Handbook, Reservlöjtn. Johannes Ernst Friedrich Paul Lambrecht received the award (Knight's Cross 2nd Class) in 1919. Glenn

Glenn Glenn, On WAF there was speculation that it was not uncommon for this German state as they had strong links with the Swedish. Is your second name Jewson as in Sennelager? If so I have some books for you, I still keep my eyes peeled for those unit histories and the likes, haven't seen any Rank lists though! Jock:)
Glenn J Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Hi Jock, Sennelager was a few years back! I wish I was there now. Glenn
Jock Auld Posted October 4, 2013 Author Posted October 4, 2013 Glenn, I will dig out the books, only unit histories, you probably have them all but you never know. I will drop you a line. Glad you are well or I assume so. Best Regards Jock:)
Jock Auld Posted October 13, 2013 Author Posted October 13, 2013 Glenn, This is all that I have found so far, I know there are a few more in the boxes somewhere, I don't know if these are your bag? The black one is from 1939 and seems to detail the Westfalische VII Armeekorps, It lists all of the subordinate units and there is a table at the end with battles and casualty stats? The brown one is I am sure you can see is about the 1870 war, it has a the rear a table of ORBAT down to Bde level, there are various maps of battles etc, more your bag than mine, If you want them let me know where to send them. If you are ever up North, bend in if you can as I am sure there is a lot of archived stuff at Celle Museum. Jock:)
