Second one is the 1914-1918 Cross of Honour also called Hindenburg Cross. This was introduced in 1934 to replace the many unofficial veteran medals. No idea about the 1st medal, maybe one of these veteran medals...
The Hindenburg one is with swords, so for combattants. The "ribbon" shown is wrong.

#1: Deutsche Ehrendenkmuenze des Weltkriegs

Thanks Terry. But it is not the standard Hindenburg cross is it? The ones I see are in bronze and have a different ribbon.

Sergeant nice looking medal! Do you know what these were awarded for?

Yes, a nice looking medal! But not mine.

PS: Search for the medal in wikipedia and you can find more interesting details and pictures!

The first one is one of the veteran's medals that came out after the war. The Hindenberg cross does look to be on the wrong ribbon, or in this case it's mounted on what may be an Austrian mount.

The HC is on a Saxon ribbon, probably from an unofficial regimental medal.
