10-placer - Medical Officer - Danzig - ID

[Nicolas7507]

Hello my friends,

I just got this ribbon bar and already did a bit of research about it. I guess he was already an officer before WW1 (Centenary Medal). So maybe a Major a.D. after the war?

 Definitely a Doctor or someone in the Medical Branche.

The Hessen-Bremen-Bayern-Danzig combination.....only a small number could have had this?

The bar:

EK2 

KVK2

Allgemeines Ehrenzeichen (Hessen)

Hanseatenkreuz (Bremen)

Sanitätskreuz (Bayern) or Red Cross Decoration (Bayern)

Hindenburg

25LS Officers Cross (I guess)

Unknown  

Centenary Medal

Danzig Red Cross Decoration  - This is the first one I have ever encountered on a ribbon bar. Are there any other examples you know of?

Best regards,

Nicolas

PS: I hope its ok, that I post this here, but for me it is rather a imperial research, than a third reich one.

The fifth ribbon could be one of the numerous bravery awards from Bulgaria during the First World War, and the ribbon in the last place is likely to represent the Russian Medal of Zeal or one of the associated Russian orders.

Yes, I had this thought, as well, but why would he place a foreign award before the Hindenburg?

Maybe a russian order for an officer would be more plausible?

Best regards,

Nicolas

Edit: Oh dear, I'm dumb. Indeed the last ribbon is not for a Danzig award. WOW. That is disappointing.......

Hi Nicolas,

the last ribbon is Stanislaus order or medal,

and the bulgarian ribbon is for military merit, therefor in front of the Hindy.

Could also be NCO / Deckoffizier.

Kind regards

Hi Andreas,

Thanks for your reply. So I guess no ID

I thought of RAD, because a lot them were Officers a.D. and the 2 blue ribbons, no idea......

Best,

Nicolas

I had another look at the 5th ribbon. 

The stripes are smaller than on the ribbon for the Bulgarian award.

So it is very likely the Kriegserinnerungsabzeichen des Bayerischen Landesvereins vom Roten Kreuz.
