Show Youngest Iron Cross Winner. The youngest "knight" to be decorated decor-ated with the Iron Cross in Germany Is Alfonso Koberle, who is only thir-ten thir-ten and one-half years of age and who, for that reason, will have to wait two and one-half years before the decoration decora-tion will be actually pinned on him, says the Boston Post. Koberle is the son of a laborer. Owing to his powerful build he was readily accepted among the volunteer bicycle men. His agility and his ability abil-ity to adjust himself to his environment environ-ment specially fitted him for patrol duty, and he developed special skill in the discovery and observation of hostile positions. |
