Brunswick Imperial Ribbon bar help please

[Troy Tempest]

Good morning again gents! I just received this ribbon bar, and I'm wondering if someone can help me identify the third ribbon please? I know the first is for the EK2, I believe the second is for the Braunschweig KVKII, I'm not sure what the third is for. Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I think the third ribbon is KVK-II. Lippe-Detmold: Ordensbänderkarten der Firma A. D. L.

Best regards,

Jens

Hi Jens!

Thanks for that mate, and thanks for that link, it was interesting, I wouldn't mind looking for some of those ribbon cards. Would you be able to tell me how a soldier would be able to get a KVKII from both Braunschweig and Lippe-Detmold please?

Just a minor point, Lippe Detmold's KVK is only one class. The pinback cross given out by Detmold has a different name (Kriegsehrenkreuz für heldenmütige Tat 1914), and is a separate award.

A soldier could get both crosses by being in born in one state and serving in the regiment of another. Or by being placed into a unit which had a mixture of troops from different states. It is more likely that the soldier is from Braunschweig because he has place that award before that of Lippe.
