    Hi Andreas and Beau,

    Many thanks for your help. Would better photos of the ribbons would help nail it down?

    Can anyone say anything about the rank and nationality of this soldier?

    Your help is much appreciated :)

    A Royal Saxon officer. With only a handful of exceptions, the Verdienstorden* was only awarded to Saxons. More than 500 Saxon officers received the Sachsen-Meiningen Ehrenkreuz für Verdienste im Kriege, and they were in a lot of different units, although a lot went to GR 100 and IR 133 and their corresponding reserve and Landwehr regiments.

    * Lots of sources call it the Zivil-Verdienstorden, but the "Zivil" part was dropped on 24 September 1849.
