Nice picture Stogie! Nice to be a King but where are his awards?? Mike

It's something you often see on pictures: a lot of places where orders can be hanged but no orders actually there...

Great photograph. I'd love to find one of those style tunics.

Interesting!

I think this photo was an appeal to the common soldier by Albert. He's not bedecked with all of his gratis awards, but with the simple Iron Crosses of the war and a Knight's Cross of the St. Henry Order.

Hello Rick.
Thanks for showing the picture.
King Albert is to have said at the time of leaving the throne in 1918:
" Macht doch euern Mist alleine"
It defies translation but goes something like "You can have it, this mess. I am out of here".
