Joe,

that is most probably the long serving Stabstrompeter of Feldartillerie-Regiment von Scharnhorst (1. Hannov.) Nr. 10, Obermusikmeister Eule. He is wearing the 1908-1912 pattern shoulder boards. Herr Eule had been the Stabstrompeter of FAR 10 from at least 1898-1911. He was awarded the Allgemeine Ehrenzeichen in Gold in the Ordensfest of January 1898 whilst holding the rank of Militär-Musikdirigent.

Regards
Glenn
 
Thanks guys I would love to have some medal knowledgeable person explain this ribbon bar a bit -- with all those medals what did this guy do? Conquer France single-handedly with his band instrument? I always thought the American Air Force gave out a lot of medals but the sheer weight of this group of medals must have made it harder to keep straight. :)
