Chris Boonzaier Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I recieved the following info... Charles Emile Samuel Chambeau. Er ist am 07.04.1891 in Battin/Prenzlau geboren und (durch Freitod) am 12.08.1962 in Hamburg gestorben. Zunächst war er Leutnant d.Res. im Kürassierregiment Graf Wrangel No.3, bis 25.01.1925. Vom 01.06.17- 15.04.19 Leiter der Versorgungsabt. der Ersatz- Eskadron Kür.Regt. 3 in Königsberg/ Pr. Lt. Feldpostnummer 00862 v. 18.08.1941 Oberleutnant. Lt. "Ausweis" (Blatt Papier, so bezeichnet) v. 31.01.1945 Rittmeister. Räumungstransport des Stalag I B Hohenstein von Stargard i.P. nach Teterow. Nach weiteren Unterlagen von Dez 1917 - Nov. 1918 Spionage- Abwehr. I assume then he served in The Cavalry, staying in the service until 1925, then being activated and serving in a POW camp?

Mike Dwyer Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Chris, All I have is the 1914 Rangliste and there's only one Prussian officer named Chambeau listed in it and he's a Hauptmann with Pionier-Bataillon von Rauch (1. Brandenburgisches ) Nr.3. There is no Chambeau listed, either active or reserve, with Kürassier-Regiment Graf Wrangel (Ostpreußisches) Nr.3. Perhaps he was commissioned after the rangliste was published? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted June 20, 2011 Author Share Posted June 20, 2011 He probably missed the beginning of the war then... maybe commisioned later? Does anyone have a way of checking the WW2 Feldpost nummer? Thnaks Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Danner Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Chambeau was commissioned a Lt.d.R. in KR 3 on 25. January 1915. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Danner Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 He does not appear to be in the January 1939 rank list, so he must have been reactivated later. Google tells me that Feldpostnummer 00862 is the "1. Kriegslazarett Kriegslazarett-Abteilung 612" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is probably a different unit a year later. best Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I can see, he lost a hand/Arm in WW1... and was attached to Stalag I B POW camp, at least atr the end of the war. Best Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Boonzaier Posted July 1, 2013 Author Share Posted July 1, 2013 I think the silver wound badge was for losing an arm in WW1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
