Leuchtturm Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Hi Jock, I can help you with the second badge from left. It is the Mitgliedsabzeichen des Braunschweiger Landwehr-Verbands von 1875 (Member Badge of the Brunswick Reserve-Forces Association, foundet in 1875). Nice badge!

IrishGunner Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Are these then like the WHW type stuff worn at fund raising events etc? Jock:) Jocko, no, these were not for fund raising like WHW. The veterans decorations (Krieger Bund, Krieger Verein, Krieger Verband, etc) were veterans organizations that were organized either by region, town, or regiment in the late 19th century. They were more social in nature than were later post-WWI veterans organizations in other countries, like the British Legion or American Legion. They were the forerunners to the German organizations like Kyffhäuserbund in the inter-war years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe i need to post it all together to decipher its origin?ThanksJock:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to take a look at the shoulder boards... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
