Daniel Krause Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Definetly not Francois. The awards do not match; Francois was no Vet of 1870/71. Best, Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn J Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 2 hours ago, Simius Rex said: Could it be a younger Hermann von Francois... That would not be possible as Hermann von François was not a Franco-German war veteran as is this chap. What are our thoughts on the decoration in last place on his medal bar? The ribbon looks like a Hessen Philipp. Regards Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Krause Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Yes, Glenn, its a Philipp IMO. It might be Gen Karl Hanesse. Best, Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn J Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Hi Daniel, agreed; I wonder why he is not wearing the 2nd class with swords? Best regards Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Krause Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Hi Glenn, most likely the knight 2nd class with swords was not a 1870/71 wartime Philipp but a later peacetime award, which was automatically awarded with swords to Soldiers until the 1890ies. The Philipp knight 1st class was awarded after that and therefore without swords. Best, Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
