IrishGunner Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 I can't remember if I've posted this photo before, but now that I have a better scanner, I thought I'd post it and see if we can confirm this Feldwebel has the Mecklenburg-Schwerin Militärverdienstkreuz? Also, maybe get an ID on his regiment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naxos Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 (edited) The Wachtmeister is wearing the grey Litewka - shoulder boards look like Husaren-Regiment Nr.15 (but image is not clear enough) note the Husar NCO in the middle is wearing a Litewka Edited November 23, 2013 by Naxos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Danner Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 (edited) HR 15 would make sense. The only hussar regiment to receive more awards of the Mecklenburg-Schwerin MVK was RHR 6 from the 17.RD. And I believe RHR 6 was formed by HR 15. The chiefs of HR 15 until 1897 were the grand dukes of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, and after than Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands, whose husband was Heinrich Herzog zu Mecklenburg.
