Chris Boonzaier Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Hi, I am guessing this would have been a Doctor or Medic in WW1 ?
ixhs Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 A medic - may be. A doc - imo not. those were officers and normally they got higher decorations + red cross medal(s)
Chris Boonzaier Posted June 24, 2014 Author Posted June 24, 2014 Hi, Possibly, but not 100%... I have a group to a WW1 Assistenzarzt who had just an EK2. Flip to my wifes Great Grandfather who was Doctor, and very active in various organisations, Died as Divisionsarzt of the 6th Luftwaffe felddvision, the only medical decoration he got more than this was the Volkspfelge cross 1. Stufe, but a Doctor who was Lt. d.R. would not have had that. So a young Prussian Doctor, Civilian Landarzt, no real engagement in organisations would have about this? If he was lucky a missing EK1.
Paul R Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 Beautiful bar! How is a Red Cross medal awarded? Was it a membership item or was there some sort of merit attributed toward it. If I am not mistaken, the DRK WW2 era medal was awarded as a sort of long service medal in the DRK?
