    Today I received this most interesting postcard size studio portrait from a photographer in Constantinopel.

    A young German sailor with his Iron Cross 2nd class.

    The translation of the script on the back is: In commemoration of the war-year 1915. Dedicated to my dear aunt Helene. Constantinopel 27 May 1915.

    He was probably decorated before May 27th, 1915, for one of the Naval actions in the Black Sea or at Gallipoli.

    This makes me wonder how many of the men on board these ships received the EK2.

    Does any one here have a clue?
