Chris Boonzaier Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Hi, would "Stabsveterinär dr. Kantorowicz" be an active or possibly a reserve rank? He served in Feld Artillerie Regiment 217, thanks Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Boonzaier Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 Hi, thanks, he must have transfered to the FAR 217 later then, I think it was formed in 1915. Best Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Danner Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Yes, that is him. He received the Iron Cross 2nd Class in 1914 as an Oberveterinär d.L. im Res.-Drag.-Rgt. Nr. 2. From the Tierärztliche Rundschau of 27.12.1914: Der Tierarzt Dr. Richard Kantorowicz in Charlottenburg, Oberveterinär d. L. im Reserve-Dragoner-Rgt. Nr. 2 ist mit einer schweren Kniegelenksentzündung aus dem Felde zurückgekehrt, welche er sich im Westen vor einigen Monaten schon akquirierte. Nachdem nun aber das Regiment nach dem Osten versetzt wurde und infolge der kolossalen Anstrengung eine Schonung nicht mehr möglich war, steigerte sich die Erkrankung so sehr, dass ein weiteres Verbleiben im Felde unmöglich wurde. Kollege Kantorowicz befindet sich z. Zt. in häuslicher Pflege, hofft aber in einigen Wochen wieder in das Feld rücken zu können. From the Tierärztliche Rundschau of 3.10.1915: Tierarzt Dr. Richard Kantorowicz in Charlottenburg, Stabs- u. Regimentsveterinär im Feldartillerie-Rgt. Nr. 217 ist wegen eines Knöchelbruchs aus dem Felde zurückgekehrt und befindet sich z. Zt. in häuslicher Pflege. Also, it does not appear in his rank list entry, but according to the Tierärztliche Rundschau of 17.4.1911, he received the Knight 2nd Class of the Württemberg Friedrichsorden. The award was also noted in Der Tierarzt and the Monatshefte für Praktische Tierheilkunde. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 Dave, that is superb, thanks. I have a bit of really juicy 1919-1945 stuff, but had found nothing WW1 era... He apparently made it to EK1 in WW1, and a wound badge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
