Interesting that Queen Charlotte died a week after the end of WW1. Coincidence? Suicide? GaryComment

I think that what is meant here is that she ceased to become Queen of Württemberg one week after the end of WW1. Actually, she died in 1946.Originally posted by Ammersee View PostComment

Being 82 at the time of her death, I think that suicide is rather unlikely. Additionally, as the result of a stroke she spent the last two years of her life confined to a wheelchair. Perhaps someone else can provide the actual cause of death though.Comment

I saw that group. Those ribbons look like they were mounted yesterday
Have you done the usual tests on it? That combo should be researchable.

What era are these "fm" marked replacement medals from? I'm not sure if they are post-WW1 or post-WW2. Bavarians?!
Don't think so.Originally posted by VtwinVince View PostComment
