Sir Reginald Wingate's medals

[freiherr]

Not so uncommon apparently but he was one of a number of generals to have received both the Military GCB and the Civilian division - here a CB.

But he had some interesting stuff to go with that .... ÖEK1 and ÖFJ1.

 

Not to mention these!

And the Order of the Star of Honour of Ethiopia - he was 2ic of the Mission to Menelik in 1897 and received the award then. Regards,
