Troy Tempest Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 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!

KIR Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Hi, I think the third ribbon is KVK-II. Lippe-Detmold: Ordensbänderkarten der Firma A. D. L. Best regards, Jens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Tempest Posted January 6, 2014 Author Share Posted January 6, 2014 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redeagleorder Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troy Tempest Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 Unfortunately for the conspiracy theorists, I was born in '59 and Aquanaut Troy debuted on British and Australian tv in 1964 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
