    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

    Amazing bars.  I have not seen this medal mounted before.  I really like the Widow's Cross/Mother's Cross combo.

    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!

    Beautiful hessian bar, I guess from the award combination, that the owner was a police officer?!

    I am quite sure to have shown this one before - but it also fits in this thread well.

     

     

    Hi,

     

    a silly question, but should this one not have a Normal cross AND the Angehöriger one?

    Best

    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).

    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.
