Iron Cross in the Colonies

[Chris Dale]

Does anyone know how many Iron Crosses were awarded for actions in the colonies in the First World War?

Gordon McGregor's book "The History of the Iron Cross and Wound Badge in German South West Africa 1914 -18" covers DSWA awards very well. It seems there were at least 45 Hiledgard's followed by 15 EK Is and 421 EK IIs awarded

In DOA the blockade runner Marie brought the only EKs seen there in the war (I think?). Three EK Is... how many EK IIs? I wonder how many EKs were awarded after the war retrospectively too?

In Kamerun, we've seen this photo of what looks like Erstaz EKs....
