GMU Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 (edited) Hello,This Ulanka belonged to a Rittmeister Schmidt, who served with the 2nd. Royal Saxon Uhlan Regiment No. 18, garrisoned at Leipzig.The tunic has a tag with the officer?s name, the regiment number and the date 1915. The Ulanka has the new regimetal color (burgundy) after it was changed from ponceau rot (poppy red) in 1915.Thanks to Glenn at the Aerodrome Forum, I learnt that we are possibly talking about Rittmeister der Reserve Alfred Schmidt of 2. Ulanen-Regiment Nr. 18. Leutnant: 22.11.99Oberleutnant d.R.: 14.8.08 ARittmeister d.R: 14.8.13 GPaul Chepurko at the Wehrmacht Awards Forum wrote the following:"According to the 1914 Sachen Rangliste he had the following awards:1. Sachen Albert Cross 2nd class2. Landwehr long service 2nd class3. Sachen Ernestine house order 2nd class4. Sachen Altenburg Ernest medalSince he was a reserve officer he is not listed in the post war army honor ranklist"Can someone in this forum provide me with more information about this person? A picture perhaps???Thanks,George Edited July 10, 2006 by GMU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul C Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 I am also here. About the only way to get a picture is from the regimental history if there is one. Not all regiments published a history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
