GM Julius von Bernuth (1861--1957)

[Deutschritter]

Gentlemen, Julius Friedrich Wilhelm Hilmar von Bernuth has as of the Rangliste 1914 only ZM, RAO4 and Dienstauszeichnungskreuz. Does anyone know if he received decorations for his time in China? Also I would love to know his WW I decorations except for EK II and I and HOH3x. A picture would be magnificent. Thanks!

Really great pictures, thank you! Am I seeing this right, Kronenorden II class with swords (neck) and the Friedrich-August-Kreuz I class under the EK 1?

WP has him as Fahnenjunker 1882 with about 21 years of age. Does anyone know why so late? Maybe WP has the year wrong? Thanks!

Seems so, yes. The Prussian Königlicher Kronenorden is confirmed by Geile for early 1918. I can also add a Baden Zähringer Löwe knight's cross 1st class with oak leaves and swords, awarded May 25, 1915 according to Roth... but is that all?!
