Help needed - again.

Post by Hans »

A great uncle received the following awards amongst others whilst serving in the German Army [WWI & WWII]: EK.II u. I. mit Spange; WgM - no trouble with this lot. However he also received:

TL2+, TM4+, TH. u.a. - What are these three? Might help if I said that he served in Turkey between Nov. 1915 & May 1918.

Thanks in advance.

Hello Hans!

One of the most common Ottoman decorations awarded to germans in WWI was the turkish "Eiserne Halbmond". Could the "TH" stand for Türkische Halbmond? See link for pic and info...
