RobS Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Dear Community, Nice, untouched Brunswick Waterloo medal for Heinrich Benthagen, Avantgarde. Ribbon is the original one, hard to see on my rather crappy photos, but the two lines for the blue silk stiching are still visible, sadly they have worn off. The mustard yellow silk has become really thin and fragile. Anyway - Would anyone have the medal roll info for Heinrich? Warm regards and all the best Rob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackcowboyBS Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Here is what I have: Heinrich Benthagen, Avantgarde, born in Woltdorf, when he recieved the medal, he allready took his leave, so he wasn't active any more and wasn't part of the reserve! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTTER76 Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Very kind of you. Maybe it is not Johan but he definitely was Corporal Maurer from Leib Battalion as per the rim inscription. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
