He is wearing the highest MVO on his medal bar- the MVO 3rd Class with Crown & Swords. He would not have worn the lower classes with this.

Hi Pierce,

He also would have worn his Bavarian MVO4 that was awarded in peacetime (1909). The fifth ribbon on the bar is the peacetime ribbon for the MVO and the Order is now missing from the bar.

Best regards,
Tom

You are correct Tom! I was referring to the combatant order in my previous reply. I realise the missing order is the Bavarian MVO4, one of my Imperial favourites.

Sorry, Pierce! I should have figured you would know this.
