Nice pic for Stogie-Rick

[AOK4]

Hello,

I bought a few photo cards of German generals today, I will scan them all and post them here (when I'm feeling a bit better - flue) but I would like to show the first one especially for Stogie-Rick...

Hey!

What's that very interesting Order hanging around his neck??

[AOK4]

This guy was commanding the XII. (Saxon) Reservekorps. I hope you see more on the detail (it's 130k large)...

Generaloberst Hans von Kirchbach (Gen.d.Art. in the picture)

- Commanding General of the XII.Reservekorps from August 2, 1914 to December 14, 1917
- OB of Armee-Abteilung "D" from December 14, 1917 until the armistice, Nov. 11, 1918.
- Pour le merite on August 11, 1916

People with better references can provide more detail. What's the buttonhole ribbon?

Do you suppose this picture was taken at the same sitting?
