Baden 1902 Jubilee Medal
The original owner of this medal bar
was a Baden non-combatant veteran of the Herero Rebellion and the First World War.
The Prussian Merit
Cross for War Aid ("Kriegshilfsdienst Kreuz")
was awarded for non-combatant assistance in the First World War.
The Baden 1902 Jubilee Medal
("Jubiläums-Medaille")
was awarded to
Badeners in service who had distinguished themselves in military or public
service to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Grand Duke Friedrich of
Baden's reign. Note that although the
kingdoms of Prussia, Bavaria, Saxony and Württemberg awarded their
own long service medals, the Grand Duchy of Baden did not. Their troops,
like those of most smaller states, were awarded Prussian
long service medals.
