    7. Two Eichlers - the Saxon Max Eichler and the Württemberger Gustav Eichler. Of note is the double Württemberg ribbons on Gustav Eichler's Feldspangen, which is technically incorrect, since his Militärverdienstorden was "an Stelle" his goldene Militärverdienstmedaille.
    8. No Ehrenbecher is listed. However, Kogenluft recognized him with shooting down a Fesselballon, a Farman biplane, 3 S.E. 5 fighters, one Sopwith Camel fighter and two Bristol fighters. His given names were Hans Eberhard. He signed his name with just Hans.
    9. At least in American English, "breast badge" or "breast insignia" is more common than "chest".
