Nice little group to a Feldjustizinspektor

Great grouping Ian. Is there any particular reason as to why he would get a copy of the KVK citation when still possessing the original?

[Ian Jewison]

Not sure David,

Perhaps this was given to him in the field by his Company commander and the official given by the Battalion or attached Divisions commander!?

Quite a few were given "copies" but never asked anyone why... I will ask my uncle and see what he has to say.......

Anyone any ideas?

Thanks very much Ian, look forward to hearing what you find out - May I ask what your uncle did during WWII?

No Ritterkreuzträger....here are Herr Will's original awards

Great grouping! For those of us that can't afford RKT stuff, these are every bit as good. Plus, lots of room for research.

As always - very impressive!!! The KVK Urkunde is just like the one I have signed by Will to the Eisenbahn Pi. Rgt. 4.

Nice grouping Ian, particulary like the listings of dates and places he served, might be interesting to plot his "travels" on a map from his merkblatt, makes me sound a bit of a sad git for thinking it though Though how many servicemen have you come across, who have so religously kept, such a detailed account of there movements during the war? Not many I bet.

It is something I have considered doing Ian, however I never get the time.....some of the diaries I have are quite detailed as well regarding dates, times, places but this group is pretty unique how he recorded it....

An ex Policeman and Justice Inspector no doubt ensured he kept good records.....

Well Ian, if you`d like to send me the grouping, including the awards as well, and any other groupings that are similar, I would be only be to happy to trace there travels for you, though it might take a little time, maybe 20 to 30 years

Cheers
Ian
