dond Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Having a hard time deciphering these entries. I know the first one is the EK2. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Danner Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 The line below the EK2 refers to it as well: "Regimentsbefehl Landwehr-Feldartillerie-Regiment Nr. 15" "E.V.K. a. Bd. T.M. am 31.8.17" appears to be the Eisernes Verdienstkreuz am Bande der Tapferkeitsmedaille from Austria-Hungary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Good question! No idea really, but I am pretty certain that the numbers of awarded to Germans was annotated anywhere in the Austro-Hungarian records (happy to be corrected).
