    Hello Gent´s,

    do there exist award list`s for the Ordine della Corona d`Italia ?

    I´m looking for the names of german recipients who got this order

    combined with the earthquake by Messina. I would like to add

    a name to this medal bar. I believe that it is a civilian from the merchant navy.

    Kind regards

    Thanks medaiman90,

     

    my hope was that there is a list from the recipients,

     

    but it seems that there is no such one.

     

    Kind regards

    Thanks Chris,

     

    I believe that it is the medal bar from a crew member ( officer ) from the NDL - steamer

     

    Therapia or Bremen.

     

    Regards

    Hi Andreas,

     

    Looking at the ribbon, I can see that it is not the "Messina earthquake medal" but the "Messina earthquake commemorative medal". Correct?

     

    List of recipients for both medals were listed in "Gazzetta Ufficiale del Regno d'Italia". Those lists seem to be incomplete, though...

     

    Note that when those lists mention a navy ship, they will list the captain separately, but the general opinion is that everyone on board got the medal listed with the ship.

     

    This is a list (from Gazzetta) of the German recipients of the Commemorative medal:

    And for completion, here is the list of German recipients of the earthquake medal (not the commemorative version).

    If someone is one both lists, you could rule him out for your group (but as I said, the list are quite inaccurate and incomplete).

    Thanks Michael,

     

    but this can´t be the lists of all recipients. Your are right it is the Commemorative medal.

     

     

     

    Regards

    Like I said, the lists are inaccurate and incomplete (not surprising given the chaos that followed the earthquake).

     

    Note that crews on ships are not listed individually (except for captains on navy ships).

    I think a friend of mine has identified the former owner :jumping:

    Engelbert Klugkist, 1. Offizier from the Bremen

    Resource Ranglisten des Norddeutschen Lloyd 1909 - 1913

    Kind regards
