Great photo! As others have noted, the top medal looks like an example of the WWI German Iron Cross https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Cross (different versions were produced, and it is hard to see any details, but it likely looks like the photo attached).
The lower medal is harder to make out, but it seems to be the Friedrich August Cross 2nd Class from the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg. According to various websites, this medal was established in September 1914 for all ranks and was the Grand Duchy’s equivalent of the Prussian Iron Cross for bravery https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrich-August-Kreuz -- Robert Murowchick <robertmurowchick AT gmail.com> Researching these family links:

Thank you, Shlomo. This looks like terrific work, and I'm grateful to have this new information.
Your second link seems as if it may be broken, however. When I click on http://shl2gur.tripod.com/Mogilevgub ernia/Mogilevgub.htm I get taken to an error message. Good luck, and it's generous of you to share such substantial work with all of us. -- Joe Kraus krausj2@...

Hello, I have never been able to find the marriage certificate of one of my grandfather’s brothers: Josef Lubasz (or Lubasch) born January 12 1897 in Krakow married to Raia Lerner. The only information I have is that he survived the war in Warsaw, but Raia and their two sons perished during the Holocaust. Where can I locate their sons birth certificate or any information of when they were born and their names? I would appreciate any help

Dr John MICHAEL inscription on watch.
#general
Robyn Dryen
Dear Genners
AJGS has received an enquiry from a watch collector about an inscription on a pocket watch in his possession. It was bought in England about 30 years ago and the watch is thought to date from around 1900. The inscription reads: For Dr John Michael in memory of his grandfather. Who so missed his birth by minutes, and is much beloved as a great Zionist. He and his son fought so valiantly, and for the Zionists. It is not clear whether the reference is to a paternal grandfather and therefore a MICHAEL (or variant), or to an unnamed maternal grandfather. Nor is it certain that these are Jewish Zionists. My question is whether anyone has a Dr John Michael in their tree with ancestors involved in the early days of Zionism. Any assistance would be welcome. Robyn Dryen Sydney, Australia

Lipsko was a town in the Cieszanów Administrative District of Galicia in the Austrian Empire. Between WWI and WWII, it was in the Lubaczow district, Lwow, Poland (also the former Galicia). After 1950, it is in Poland. Go to the JewishGen Communities Database and search for Lipsko. Even if you enter Lipsca, the town of Lipsko will show up.

Re: The Berthold Rosenthal Collection and communities in the Pfalz
#germany
Eva Lawrence
I believe that some of the records that Berthold Rosenthal saw still exist in the Pfalz and they are probably in the same dusty boxes in which he would have found them The documents haven't been lost, what has been lost is the the ability to read faded hand writing, to pick out the relevant records.and to extract the data, not to mention a willingness to grant access....
Jewish vital records pre-1808, would be mainly in Hebrew, and no post-war German archivist knows enough to deal with any that survived. The patronymic system has muddied interpretation of the French or German records, too, now that the people with enough local knowledge to sort things out have passed away.. .
Rosenthal had excellent language skills including Hebrew, and the leisure to ask questions and to concentrate on his research... There were others of his type, but I don't know any who left a comparable body of work about the Pfalz. I have a considerable collection of notes made by my father, also a Pfalz researcher. My father didn't read Hebrew. .and..I suspect that most of Rosenthal's information from before 1808 would have depended on synagogue records, .like my father's mohel list from Reichsbischofsheim, received in 1937.. It covers the years 5478 to 5955, (early 1700s) and Dr Jesselson had helpfully transcribed the Hebrew names.
Some of my father's information must have come by word of mouth He habitually kept letters, but keeping an image of every archival record was not an option before the digital age.. In Rosenthal's case, perhaps supporting correspondence was discarded after the files had been edited to send to Leo Baek? .
