Streptile Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Danner Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 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.
