Picked this one up recently. A proud general staff Hauptmann, veteran of the Great War next to his Obergefreiter son, veteran of the Afrikakorps with the armband, General Assault Badge along with his EKII ribbon. I love the expression on fathers' face.
This is probably a Wehrmacht Era Forum question but I wonder why he prefers to wear the War Merit I cross instead of his 1914 Iron Cross ?Attached Files

He is correctly wearing the ribbon for the WW1 second class Iron Cross as well as the wiederholungspange, showing he was also awarded the EK2 during WW2. The KVK 1st class is corrctly worn on the breast pocket. He does not have an Iron Cross 1st class.

Hello Terry
Thank you for sharing your TWM collection here. I know you had them long before I even heard about this medal, the photos of your collection around various forums had always been inspirational for me.
On the other hand, you are right about the Iron Cross, he has the second class not the first.
Do you have extra photos of the top right TWM?

Another photo dated 1918 on the back. I also know the name of this soldier. There is also another photo of this soldier which was sold on Ebay in the last months ( I missed the final bidding due to traffic) .
I believe this is a BB&Co. when I scan and look closely in high resolution.Attached Files
