I was just thinking, If a soldier was awarded an EK2 in the field or whilst away from home, where did they keep their EK2? I know that the ribbon would be put in a button hole to show the award, but I wouldn't want to lose it whilst I was at my post

Some probably sent it home, some had it in a pocket and brought it home while on leave.
It wasn't something to wear, so the cross was just dead weight...
And it was probably sent home if the soldier died. -
depends on the soldier!some of them bought lined boxes for them others threw them in a cupboard! though alot would have them parade mounted!Comment
