The Ribbon In The Button Hole Is For The Kreigsverdienst Kreuz, 2nd Class. I Doubt If Anyone Can Give You An Opinion On The Unusual Mounting In The Breast Pocket Without A Better Blown Up View.

The long ribbon appears to be the War Service Cross and the pocket could be Social Welfare. It has a wide red center and white edges - maybe he was a driver for Red Cross at some point or otherwise served in a capacity that would have warranted that award.

Hi

Thankyou both for the help.
Was the left pocket the usual place for a Social welfare ribbon?

Cheers,
Larry

Larry-
It Is Quite Odd To See Any Medal Ribbon Mounted In That Location. Early S A Men Were Known To Wear Their Ek 2 Ribbon In This Location. The Only Known Prescribed Mounting Of A Ribbon To An Upper Breast Pocket I Know Of Is The Blood Order.

Thanks Bob. I also thought it was a strange place to put a ribbon. Other than the Blood Order ribbon I can't recall seeing any other award ribbons worn there. Obviously a non-standard practice. Cheers Larry
