12 Place ww1 Prussian ribbon bar

[drspeck]

Dear all,

I would like to show you another ribbon bar from the Zeige lot from last auction.

Prussian, 1914-1918. Dark blue/black backing. Naval? Godet? The second to last looks like a very faded Hessian...

Any thoughts? All feedback appreciated

Regards. Peter

Dear Drspeck

Lovely bar once again, a gorgeous Prussian-first bar. I agree that the second to last ribbon could very well be the Hessian medal for bravery.

Kind regards, Laurentius

At first I thought: Navy (Mecklenburg and Oldenburg awards). But he is not listed in the Navy Rolls. The backing also looks black rather than blue, so I thought Army. 

Actually, he was both: A Marine. And not just any one: he was commander of one of the German Marine Regiments. 

It took a while to find him, but this is 

Oberstleutnant Ulrich von Usedom. Born Schwerin 27.10.1871. In 1914, he is listed as Major in the Adjutantur of the III Army Korps, holding a RAO4, Johanniter and the Life Saving Medal (and, not listed: Centenary Medal). From 4.9.1916 until 1918, he was commander of the 1st Marine-Infanterie-Regiment. In 1918 he returned to the Army and ended WW1 as Oberstleutnant aD. Alive in 1931. He was awarded/gazetted

HHOX on 23.11.1916

BZ3aX on 2.2.1916

SA3aX on 16.6.1917
