    Hello Thierry:

    I believe that the cross above the EKI on his left breast is Garde Jäger bataillon veteran's cross. I believe that I have seen one in the past with green-enameled arms.

    A very nice photograph. Congratulations!

    Best regards,

    Reichsritter des Johanniter Ordens

    Just one petty addition: His rank within the Prussian Johanniterorden is called Rechtsritter, not Reichsritter. Other than the Ehrenritter, the entry-level who were simply appointed, these received an actual dubbing by the Herrenmeister. The English and French terms for Reichsritter would be "Knight of Justice" respectively "chevalier de justice".
