Stogieman Posted February 8, 2016 Posted February 8, 2016 I am in the process of scanning my collection of Carte de Visite showing recipients of the 1870 EK2 on the white/black non-combatants ribbon. Should I post these here, or in the EK forum? Thanks, Rick
Stogieman Posted February 10, 2016 Author Posted February 10, 2016 Here's one, but here's the question.... why does he have his EK2 mounted backwards showing the 1813 date??????????
Paul C Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 Nice one. There is a list of EKNK awardees, but not enough to go on.

I have a WW1 Bavarian Photo also with his EK mounted backwards showing 1870 !! Keep em coming!!
Stogieman Posted February 10, 2016 Author Posted February 10, 2016 I know the second place medal is the 1864 NC Cross, but what are the other medals on this bar??? Can anyone help? Here's photo 2, another new one. What is the second medal? Hohenzollern?

Kind regards Andreas Given that it is in fact a BMV3b in last position and that our subject is neither a medical officer nor wearing the uniform of a military official and that the photograph was in all probability taken in the 1870s, then the combination is not common at all. Again, if we exclude Zeugoffiziere (he appears to be wearing an infantry officers' uniform), the field really narrows down to one or two possibilities. At the moment, I tending towards Seconde-Lieutenant der Landwehr Karl Wenzelmann. My only reservation, is that I cannot tie him to Berlin. Regards Glenn

Regards Andreas Unfortunately that will not help in identifying him. This particlular medal is not listed in the Prussian army lists and therefore he could be one of many junior Prussian medical officers with an EK2 on the white band. Regards Glenn
Stogieman Posted February 12, 2016 Author Posted February 12, 2016 Thanks Glenn, I really appreciate the input. On to the next one!
Stogieman Posted February 12, 2016 Author Posted February 12, 2016 (edited) Here's the next one alright, too many cocktails to figure out why I can't post an image tonight! Edited February 13, 2016 by Stogieman

He was working as a Magazin-Rendant and Proviant-Meister and changed between the Armee-Korps.... one year he was assigned to the IV. , one year to the X. ..... why not visiting Berlin sometime
Stogieman Posted February 13, 2016 Author Posted February 13, 2016 OK, let's try this again. Here's the only one I have named
Paul R Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 Very cool Rick!!! I still have the NCEK2 bar you sold to me years ago! It is my favorite Prussian award.
dedehansen Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 1 hour ago, Stogieman said: Here's the reverse Dr. Julius Adolf Böhr, 1870 / 71 Feld - Stabsarzt im Feld - Lazareth Nr. 9 des 3. Armee - Korps Cheers Andreas
Glenn J Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 Dr Böhr (Boehr's) entry in the Stammliste of the Kaiser-Wilhelm's Academy. As can be seen from his entry and of course his medals, he was a veteran of both the wars of 1866 and 1870/71. It is fortunate that the good doctor's name was annotated on the rear as this combination of awards would have made an ID otherwise impossible. Regards Glenn
Stogieman Posted March 1, 2016 Author Posted March 1, 2016 Here's the next one, not even sure what he's wearing!
