    Show your medal bars with the Cross of Honor for widows and orphans / Ehrenkreuz für Witwen und Weisen


    Recommended Posts

    Dear forumites,

     

    I wanted to present to you a small and simple medal bar, but with a quite uncommon combination of awards. You don't see so often the cross of honor for widows and parent's of the fallen soldier on a medal. 

    Please feel free to show yours.

     

    ciao,

    Claudio

    What do we have here..

    Some kind of selfmade non combatant medal bar. The lipper cross and the IC were missing, so i replaced them, not

    in the best condition but living history.

    I always like the Wuerttemberg Charlotte cross very much!

    No, he could only get one cross.

    When he wanted to have a cross (he had to apply for it), he must decide: the cross for his own military service, or a cross for his fallen son/s (Elternkreuz).

    "Die Verleihung mehrerer Ehrenkreuze an ein und die selbe Person ist unzulässig."

    Thats interesting, I missed that. For some reason I had thought I had seen a bar with the fathers cross and the angehörige as well

    A few bars do exist with more than one cross on them. Although not official, I imagine it wasn't hard for a determined person to get hold of the one they didn't apply for with millions of them floating around.
