- remembrance cross, 1870/71 Saxony;

- non-combattant remembrance medal 1870/71;

- cent. medal Emp. Wilhelm I.

Are the first two awards noncombatant as well?

Paul:

I believe Saxony sometimes had such distinction re. combattant/non-combattant. But I am not sure.

Nimmergut's ribbon catalog shows no distinction for the remembrance medal 1870/71 and for the Albrechts Cross gives with swords and w/out.

Outstanding bar. Is that the correct ribbon for the Albrecht cross?
