    Gentlemen, does anyone have a complete list of the Grand Duke's decorations for WWI? Wikip. has EK 2 and 1, and I can see MMV 2 and 1 ... what am I missing? Thank you! I am also looking for promotion dates, any help would be great. Maybe Leutnant as a child, as often seen by the children of Hoher Adel
