Germany WW1 Brunswick EA2 Ernst August's Cross of Military Merit 2nd Class

Imperial Germany - Brunswick: Ernst August 's 
Cross of Military Merit 2nd Class, EA2. 
The Cross was instituted by Duke Ernst August 
in 1914, initially in a single class (the 2nd class 
like this example). It was awarded regardless 
of the rank of the recipient, for merit in action. 
In 1918 the Cross was amended with the 
addition of the 1st Class in a form similar to 
the Prussian Iron Cross 1st Class. 
The up to 1918 single class cross became 
the 2nd Class of the award. 
The Cross is rare in both classes (especially 
in the 1st Class) as the Duchy had at the 
time less than 500.000 inhabitants.
