The original owner of this medal bar was an NCO who served in an unknown
colonial campaign (the campaign clasp has been removed from the bar, leaving
only holes in the ribbon where it once was), the First World War and the Finnish
Civil War as part of the German Baltic Division. The field grey back to the bar
suggests he was in army rather than navy service during the First World War.
