This week I also received this photo from another veteran of the great war.

The photo is in white and black. The tonality of the ribbon seems to match and on the back of the photo is written in pencil Karlsruhe (located in Baden)

Regards
Santi

A few weeks ago these two photos of another Great War veteran re-enlisted in 1939, arrived.....

A really tough OberFeldwebel.

In the first photo with his field binoculars and his impressive EK1 1914, we see him with a triple ribbon bar, with wide ribbons: EK2 1914, General Honor Decoration, Grand Duke Ernst Ludwig, 'For Bravery' 1894-1918 and Hindenburg Cross with Swords.

In the second photo, an image probably taken at his unit barracks already shows the Infantry Assault Badge on his feldbluse.
The funny thing is that his ribbon bar is now quadruple and I'd bet the third ribbon is the Saxony Weimar Eisenach Bronze General Merit Medal 1914, with Swords...

Maybe when he re-enlisted in 1939 or 1940 he didn't find that ribbon bar with his two awards won in the Great War... who knows?

Hello friends, last May we talked about the fact that in 1916 the Karl-Olga Medaille of the Kingdom of Württemberg was "replaced" by the Chalotten Kreuz when I shared the photos of a four-ribbon ribbon bar that I had added to my collection.
