The Prussian Posted August 4, 2019 Posted August 4, 2019 (edited) Hello! His units were: 12.10.04-18.9.06: Fusilier-Regiment 38, 10th comp. 14.8.-18.9.08: Manoeuvre in Inf.Rgt.154, 5th. comp. 11.-24.5.11: Manoeuvre in Inf.Rgt.154, 4th comp. 14.8.14-10.7.17: Eisenbahn-Hilfs-Bataillon 1, 4th comp. (Railroad-support-bataillon) 11.7.17: Ersatz-Bataillon, Eisenbahn-Rgt.4 13.7.17: I.Ersatz-Bataillon, Eisenbahn-Rgt. 4, 3rd comp. 27.10.17: II.Ersatz-Bataillon, Eisenbahn-Rgt.4, 3rd comp. 10.12.17: Eisenbahn-Betriebs-Kompagnie 83 26.12.17: in Eisenbahn-Betriebs-Kompagnie 83 eingetroffen (arrived) He received Iron Cross 2nd class April 20, 1917 and the turkish Iftikar medal February 23, 1917. The Iftihar Medal was originally written: İftihar Nişanı (Order of Glory). But I think, that is wrong, because as far as I know that medal was only awarded to higher turkish officers. I can´t believe, a simple soldier from a Railroiad-Support-Bataillon did receive such an ordre! In WW1 the following awards were available for military persons: Order of the Mejedie (Order of Osmanieh) Imtiaz Medal Liakat Medal Iron Crescent Could you please show the left side of page 12 (under the stamp) Edited August 4, 2019 by The Prussian

The Prussian Posted August 12, 2019 Posted August 12, 2019 Hello Andreas! That´s interesting! Thanks a lot! But I stil wonder, what did a man of a railroad-support-bataillon do, to receive such a medal?
