German Awards - Service Award 2. Class for 12 years

New service awards were established on December 20, 1913 by the Grand Duke Wilhelm Ernst. Service awards on the Prussian model were now awarded for 15, 12 and 9 years. Service awards dated 9 March 1872 were granted after 21, 15 and 9 years of service and replaced by a new uniform. Non-commissioned officers of the 5th Thuringian Infantry Regiment (Grand Duke of Saxony) No. 94 and the Grand Duke's gendarmerie corps were awarded. Retired non-commissioned officers could exchange a new form of service distinction at their own expense.
