      Hallo Uwe,

      I am somewhat tied up with a big project at work but will try and get some enlarged pictures of the ribbons up this weekend.

      Thanks for your feedback.

      All the best,
      TJ

          Some things that I noticed in these interesting photos;

          1- #19-Friede appears to be wearing three ribbons in a single row. I agree that the first on is an EKII and the second one is probably a black wound badge. The third one eludes me because I can not think of an award that would be worn after the wound badge. However, since these 57 bars were private purchase and you order whatever you wanted in whatever configuration we will probably never know what the third ribbon is for.

          2 - #35 - differnt ribbon configuration. Is he wearing three ribbons in two rows of four ribbon in two rows? He was wearing three ribbons in a single row in #34.

          3 - The first officer in the parade in #49 is from a helicopter squadron. Really looks out of place here.

          Regards.

          Hi Gordon,

          Excellent points as usual. I will try and get some close-ups posted over the weekend.

          All the best,

            Hello Gents,

            I am not able to blow up the photos without greatly distorting the images.

            Is there anything that we are really still concerned about?

            Thanks,
            TJ

              TJ,

              Not for me. I think that Uwe's suggestions re the ribbons is a good one.

              Regards,

              Gordon

                Great photos over time of a clearly wonderful man. Many thanks for taking the time to share these with us. Also a good study of uniform evolution.

                  Awesome pics and entertaining commentary! I see someone has Spring Fever just before yet another snow storm this weekend

                  I also agree with Uwe. I have a couple of award bars with WW2 awards with a single post war award on the right. Sports badge being a common one, which makes sense.

                    August and Steve,

                    Thanks for your comments.

                    Steve,

                    You are right on with the Spring Fever comment. I can't believe we got another 12 inches dropped on top of us!

                    Many thanks,
                    TJ

                      If I were a jerk I'd say "Better you than me". But since I'm a nice guy, I would never say that.
