Stijn David Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Hello, Here is a newly arrived medalbar from a brave soldier (most probably non commissioned rank). His name remains unknown untill now and he was either a inhabitant from the small dutchy of Reuss or Sachsen-Altenburg. Hence the 2 medals. The bar has; * EK2 * Hindenburg Cross * Reuss (Silver) medal with Swords * Sachsen-Altenburg - SEHO - (Silver) medal, last model * Long Service awards (Prussia) - 15 Years * Long Service awards - 25 years The Sachsen-Altenburg piece is a award piece and with its 933 awards a not so common medal. All opinions are more then welcome. Cordial greetings, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul C Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 It looks nice. The Reuss and SEHO are the enlisted version and going with the 15 years LSC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stijn David Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 Hello Guys, Thank you. Indeed three awards (for normal soldiers) for valor. A combination not so often found. I think there is a large chance that this soldier was actually part of the I.R. 96, as that regiment was composed out of parts of for example Reuss and Sachsen-Altenburg. But that is a guess offcoarse . Both silver medals appear to be early award pieces. Cordial greetings, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
