Germany, Ss. A Ss 4-Year Long Service Award Hold and went to the coast

and went to the coast with the Cobourg Heavy Battery when they were called at the outbreak of war

with minor wear on the rim and toned silver

and I know that to this unselfish task you and all your household have made many great sacrifices

After the war ended
