Germans in British Service

[Lost Skeleton]

A local Ohio friend and fellow medal collector who is an expat Brit from Manchester, decided to sell off his Military General Service (Peninsular War) and Waterloo medals a few years ago. Some of these found their way into my eager clutches. Given our mutual interest in the Napoleonic wars, I thought he might also be interested in seeing some examples of how regiments in the Imperial German Army commemorated their service to HRH King George III – and as recently as the Great War. These are the photos I spammed him with. Alas, he wasn't very interested in Black Brunswicker Pickelhauben et al.

Thank you very much for showing! I always like helmets from AK X and the old Hanoverian army!

Best wishes

Very Nice Helmets that you've shared.
I very much love the commemoration plates.

Just curious as to why was it the Skull? or does he still love the emperor and holds a grudge from their efforts at Waterloo.

Merely a lack of interest in anything non-British and non-medallic. Bill is a diehard medal collector.
