German First World War large format portrait medal (dated 1915) by H Gurciuze commemorating Crown Prince Wilhelm (1882-
1951) and his military successes in the field. The eldest of the Kaiser's five sons, Wilhelm was appointed commander of the German Fifth
Army in 1914. His entire war service (which involved being made head of the 'Army Group Crown Prince', in September 1916) was spent on the
Western Front. In November 1918, together with his father, he went into exile in Holland. | Publisher: | http://www.iwm.org.uk | Subjects: | First World War & 1914 = 1915 DE.A Wilhelm portrait / personification Crown Prince of Germany | Source: | Imperial War Museum | Creator: | Gurciuze, H | Identifier: | http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/o... | Go to resource |
