Raymond Mann Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Hello, can someone please help me identify the awards on the left officer? The first one seems to be Königlich Preußischer Roter Adler-Orden 4. Klasse. I am trying to identify the awards to find out who he was. The time was 1905 and the place China but not Kiautschau, so could he be Korvettenkapitän Felix Funke, later Vizeadmiral, as he departed from there on 11 November 1905. Thanks.

David M Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 You do mean the right one, right, the left one just has 1 medal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurentius Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 (edited) My guess would be: RAO4, PDA, China Denkmünze, Centenary medal, Order of the Wendish Crown, Russian Order of St. Anna. The Order of the Wendish Crown is known to be a bit on the bigger side, so it might be easy to overlook the bar has an Order coming in behind it Edited September 24, 2020 by laurentius 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex K Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 (edited) Wendish crown could be right, looking at it again the ribbon is wrong for the wurt crown, good spotting Edited September 24, 2020 by Alex K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raymond Mann Posted September 24, 2020 Author Share Posted September 24, 2020 Bravo! Thanks guys. I compare this with the list here: It seems other than the Wendish Crown, the rest match those of Funke. So how likely is another German officer similarly decorated?

Deutschritter Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Greetings, Raymond Mann! Felix Funke served in Tsingtau as Chef des Stabes der Militärverwaltung des Gouvernements Kiautschou under Oskar von Truppel from 1902 (he already had 8 decorations up to this time) until summer 1906. Here you have him as Fregattenkapitän in spring 1906 ... I doubt he got so many extra decorations between 1905 (your picture) and 1906 (my picture).
