Hi Gents,

DK stands for Dienstauszeichnungskreuz.

Kind regards

Actually, I’m pretty sure DK is the 25 year Long Service.

Can anyone make sense of the Turkish nomenclature? It doesn’t follow the German Rank Lists.

First, what an amazing group ... heaven't seen this thread before ... this huge photographs are incredible!

Second (about last post), the bar an the picture is a different one isn't it?

Agreed, I'm getting tired of greedy people splitting up groups.

Hi Chet!

According to the fantastic and just released book “Die Order und Ehrenzeichen des Herzogtums Braunschweig von 1696 bis 1918” by Stephan Schwarz, we find that von Rüdgisch was awarded the knight’s first class cross of the Order of Henry the Lion in 1899; and at that time he held the post of Major Cavallerie Instructteur der Türkischen Armee. Another piece of the picture.

Best wishes,
