IR 134 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Men,I need a little bit help. I have this photo of - what I assume - is a medical officer. Photo not dated or written but concluding from his uniform and the backside of the photo it was taken in France/Belgium, ca. 1916-18Ordensschnalle:1. Sachsen Verdienstorden wX-2. EK2 -3. Sachsen Dienstauszeichnungskreuz4. ?5.?Single orders:Albrechtsorden Offizierskreuz mit Krone und SchwertenEK 1Österreich Franz-Joseph-Orden OffizierskreuzMy idea is maybe Generaloberarzt/Generalarzt Dr. Anton Scherner?Gruß und Dank Stefan ' alt='' class='ipsImage' width="495px" height="750px">"> ' alt='' class='ipsImage' width="495px" height="750px">' alt='' class='ipsImage' > Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaba1914 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 You are correct with crown but without swords :-) Regards Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deruelle Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Can't see clearly. There is no name of Scherner in the Bavarian rolls during WW1. This photo has been taken after 1917 as Scherner received SAOX on May 1917.. I have not find in his prewar medals any Bavarian one. One another research mistake.

The Prussian Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Hi Christophe!Why bavarian? I think, Scherner was saxon. He is in the saxon Rangliste 1918, but the are no medals mentioned... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IR 134 Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 Thank you so far for the answers, much appreciated.To make clear: I´m no specialist in identifying orders. Scherner was only a speculation of mine as he was only one of - I think 2-3- with ÖFJ3 I´ve found in a list I have from Daniel Krause. Meanwhile I doubt this is Scherner. No mention of Bavarian or Anhalt-Awards in Roth, instead he had a Red Cross medal.Anyway, is it possible to identify this guy with this rare combo?Gruß Stefan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
