dond Posted December 30, 2017 Posted December 30, 2017 What's the date on the Great Grandfather's award? Unit?
Chris Boonzaier Posted December 30, 2017 Author Posted December 30, 2017 Hi, the Great Grandfather was a civilian, although the Grandfather got the Kriegsehrenzeichen in Eisen the Great Grandfather got the simple "kriegsehrenzeichen" Small Bronze one for service to the war effort... see here... http://www.ehrenzeichen-orden.de/deutsche-staaten/kriegsehrenzeichen-in-bronze-1916.html
Dave Danner Posted December 31, 2017 Posted December 31, 2017 Very nice! Just one nitpick. The pinback is the Kriegerehrenzeichen in Eisen.
