A recent acquisition of mine, a very tidy and nice khaki Officer’s Service Dress Cap to the Manchester Regiment. Overall fantastic condition for it’s age, not even any minor damage or staining. Leather chinstrap in fantastic condition, and above that a fleur de lis badge, which was the cap badge that the Manchesters used during WWII. Badge in great condition and looks great, really stands out on the cap. King’s crown GS buttons to each side. To the interior maker’s label (Rowan’s), not named or dated but WWII period. Overall a very well kept piece and a great addition to my collection, hopefully I’ll find a field service cap to the Manchesters to display with this eventually. Thanks for reading, and have a nice day.

Best regards,

-Jamie

- k.u.k. Österr. Militär-Verdienstkreuz III Klasse mit der Kriegsdekoration
- Round medal, perhaps the Finn. Erinnerungsmedaille des Freiheitskrieg 1918 ??? (notice the clasp above it!) (since he has the Finn. Freiheitskreuz I. Klasse mit Schwertern)
- ??? (perhaps one of his 2 Russian awards?)
- Kgl. Preuß. Kaiser Wilhelm-Erinnerungsmedaille 1897 ???
- China Denkmünze in Bronze or Kolonial Denkmünze ??? (he was in Tsingtau, China for three months in 1898) The ribbon above this medal has straight vertical lines, I took this photo with a phone so it doesn’t show the lines, but I can see the lines when looking at this photo in the book.
- RK II. Klasse des Kgl. Sächs. Albrechts-Ordens

Here is the full list of his awards from Rangliste 1914 and 1918:

- 1914 EK I
- 1914 EK II
- Kgl. Preuß. Kaiser Wilhelm-Erinnerungsmedaille 1797-1897 (“Centenarmedaille”)

- Braunschweigisches Kriegsverdienstkreuz II. Klasse
- Braunschweigisches Kriegsverdienstkreuz I. Klasse
- Türkischer Eiserner Halbmond
- Kgl. Preuß. Dienstauszeichnungskreuz
- Hanseatenkreuz Hamburg

Presumably he also had:

- Ehrenkreuz für Frontkämpfer

- Finn. Freiheitskreuz I. Klasse mit Schwertern (3rd medal around the neck)

- Finn. Erinnerungsmedaille des Freiheitskrieg 1918 (because he recieved the Finn. Freiheitskreuz I. Klasse mit Schwertern, also I don’t know if he’s wearing it on the photo)

- Kgl. Preuß. Kronen-Orden II. Klasse mit Schwertern (around the neck, first medal)

- Hanseatenkreuz Bremen (not listed in the 1918 Rangliste, but perhaps he recieved it after 1918, we can’t check because he retired in 1920)

It seems he didn’t mount the 2 Russian awards he had and also the Kgl. Preuß. Dienstauszeichnungskreuz?

I can try and take a better photo from the book if needed.

And please do correct me if I made any mistakes!

Thanks!
