Deruelle Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Hi everybody Here is a nice photo of Lt d.L Otto NICKO. His medal bar is very nice. He wore the - St Henry medal in silver, 6 October 1915 - Knight cross 2nd class with X of Albert of Saxe, 6 October 1916 - Cross 4th class with X of Albert of Saxe, 3 July 1915 - Iron cross 2nd class, - War Merit cross 2nd class of Brunswick - Iron cross 1st class As you can see he wore the Adjudant schärpe. Not so bad for a NCO who became officer. During the war only 1389 Crosses 4th class with X were awarded. Only 8 were awarded with knight cross 2nd class with X of Albert of Saxe. Only one officer received both crosses and the Silver St Henry medal of Saxe : our man NICKO Christophe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
