Award dates of Prinz Leopold von Bayern

[Ingo]

I´m searching for the dates when Prinz Leopold von Bayern got his Iron crosses.

He was awarded with the EK II and the EK I in the war 1870/71 and also in the war 1914/18.

All I found is that he received his EK2 as a commander of battery during Battle of Sedan (1. September 1870).
He was awarded EK1 1870 for his deeds during Battle for Beauvert between 8. and 10. December as Major.
Probably he received it on 11. December, when he was also promoted to commander of 3rd Artillery Regiment.

Many thanks for your replay.

Ingo,

the award of the EK2 was gazetted in the Bavarian Militär-Verordnungsblatt No 53 of 30 September 1870. Royal permission was given to wear the decoration by the King of Bavaria on 26 September 1870 and promulgated by an order dated 29 September 1870.

The award of the EK1 was gazetted in the Bavarian Militär-Verordnungsblatt No 5 of 24 January 1871 with Royal permission to wear the decoration by the King of Bavaria given on 18 January 1871.

Many thanks again !

 

Now finally only the dates for his EK II und EK I for the war of 1914/1918 are missing.

Are you sure he got any 1914 Iron Crosses besides the Grand Cross? That would be unusual, to say the least, and I cannot find much to back this up. Do you have some source that claims he got both classes of the EK twice? I have some doubts about this claim, to be honest.
