I just picked up a beautiful EK2 award doc at the Toronto Antique Arms and Militaria show yesterday. Actually bought it from another association member Kampfer before it could hit the estand or his website! 
It's printed on heavy, good quality linen paper to an NCO candidate. Wish I'd taken notes, I was a bit tired at the end of a long day, but I believe Martin told me that he thought it was issued in a field hospital (is this apparent from the stamp?) to someone who had completed NCO training but had not yet been promoted.
Anyway, great quality document - enjoy the pics!

The material is unusual, as is the color decoration. These were obviously intended as "special deals" for personal awards from the Army Corps commander in person, but that bit has been struck out and the divisional commander's title is written in.
