I attach a photo of an interesting medal bar with a Friedrich August Medal in Bronze and Saxe-Meiningen Cross of Honor for Merit. The former would only be granted to NCOs or lower ranks in the Saxon Kingdom, but the latter was presumably reserved for officers. Does the existence of this bar show that an NCO was promoted to the rank of officer, or rather that Saxe-Meiningen would bestow these medals on NCOs? Likewise, would it potentially be a Saxe-Meiningen award to a Saxon Kingdom soldier? Any advice would be welcome. Best, Tom
