The Prussian Posted October 10, 2021 Posted October 10, 2021 Hello! Does anyone have photos of soldiers with that beautiful medal?
graham Posted October 10, 2021 Posted October 10, 2021 A couple from the internet: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bundesarchiv_Bild_183-2007-1009-502,_Karl-Eduard_von_Sachsen-Coburg_und_Gotha.jpg https://www.flickr.com/photos/karl_bandow/50941933333
The Prussian Posted October 11, 2021 Posted October 11, 2021 (edited) Hi Graham! Thanks a lot! The second one is brilliant! The photo is taken from the regimental history. The officer is Lt.d.Res. Wilhelm Unbehaun. Company leader 9./95 Photos of that cross are pretty rare. I will receive one this week. I´ve never seen photos from "front soldiers". Only from Carl-Eduard.

graham Posted October 11, 2021 Posted October 11, 2021 The Prussian, Thanks for the info on Lt.d.Res. Wilhelm Unbehaun. Company leader 9./95. Do you know when the photo was taken?
The Prussian Posted October 11, 2021 Posted October 11, 2021 (edited) Hi Graham! I will have a look in the book this afternoon Edited October 11, 2021 by The Prussian
The Prussian Posted October 11, 2021 Posted October 11, 2021 Here is the photo. No date mentioned. But there are two dates k.i.a. September 1918. Unbehaun received his cross January 26, 1918. So the photo must have been taken between end of January and September 1918
The Prussian Posted October 13, 2021 Posted October 13, 2021 (edited) Hello! Here the photo of Hauptmann Deines. Leader III./Res.Inf.Rgt.82 (listed in IR95) The card is written with "Meldegänger Mai 1907 in Walincourt" (It must be 1917!) Meldegänger = Runner Note the stars upon the upper arms!
