Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
House Carles at the Battle of Hastings
Not rare, but still nice awards: WWI EKII, commemorative cross of WWI, 25 Years of the True Service (civilian award) and 1 more award I do not know.
It's an Imperial and Third Reich medal bar in very good condition. Maybe some of the others who collect these can offer thoughts on if it's an original set up or a modern put together piece but the awards look good.
I have no idea what the one on the Blue and red ribbon is though but obviously from WW1.
Looking for LDO marked EK2s and items relating to U-406.....
Looks like a very nice Deumer Imperial cross hanging on that mount.
ww1 Iron Cross 2nd class, pass, Hindenburg Cross, 25 year faithful service cross.
Found this info hope it helps.
Friedrich’s August 11 cross, 2nd class, the award was instituted by Grand Duke Friedrich August to recognize outstanding services during participation in ww1.
