Class The other one is Kapitänleutnant der Seewehr 1. Aufgebots Lübcke at this time he only is listed with LD 1 Regards Andreas
Chris Boonzaier Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Hi, It is possible that it is one of the post war EK awards then...

Chris Boonzaier Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 I saw and and would have hit the button if I had not overspent that much the last couple of months... my wife would kill me!!
dante Posted January 26, 2014 Author Posted January 26, 2014 So surprised to get it even negotiated a big reduction.....
Glenn J Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Chris, The Seewehr was the naval equivalent of the Landwehr. Regards Glenn
Chris Boonzaier Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Ahh... Ok, learn something new every day, thanks
turtle Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Interesting medal bar, the unofficial commemorative medal is especially nice! Strange that he had no other decoration, I would´ve at least expected a Verdienstkreuz für Kriegshilfe or maybe (I say maybe!) a Kronen-Orden IV. Klasse!
Glenn J Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Harry Lübcke is listed in the 1912-1913 Landwehrbezirk Hamburg Rang-Liste as a captain in the Hamburg-Amerika Linie with seniority as a Kapitänleutnant der Seewehr of 22.8.07 and living at Arndtstraße 21. The Naval Ehrenrangliste has him in the Dutch East Indies at the outbreak of war where he was placed at the disposal of the consulate in Batavia. It appears he spent a spell in the clink there on account of activities against the neutrality of his hosts! Regards Glenn
dante Posted July 3, 2015 Author Posted July 3, 2015 Update......Looks like this is what he got his EK2 for? ........News cutting for 1914
