A 1925 Royal Bavarian Heavy Artillery Merit Certificate

Measuring 38.2 x 43.9 cm. dated 1925, very good, signs of aging. An honorary certificate for “comrade” Alois Scheuerecker, member of the Schw. Artillerie-Vereinigung München (heavy artillery association Munich). The state association of the members of the former K. B. (Königlich Bayerische) Schwere Artillerie (Royal Bavarian heavy artillery) gives thanks and appreciation for outstanding merit. The certificate should serve as proof. It is dated to Aug 8th, 1925. The Royal Bavarian army existed until 1919, when it became part of an all-German army. The certificate features a picture by painter Oskar Merte (1873–1938) showing a trek of soldiers, some on foot, some on horseback, marching through the country and passing through a wartorn village.
