Hi Glenn & Rick, Many thanks for your assistance, you have both added info that I did not have. I have most of his papers, promotion patents etc, and award documents and decoration for the Hohenzollern House Order. I did not have his urkunde showing he was awarded the Saxon Albert Order. His Bavarian Military Merit Order 4th Class with swords was warded March 12th, 1912. He received the Kolonialdenkmunze mit spange - DEUTSCH-OSTAFRIKA 1905-07 for his role in the Maji-Maji Rebellion in East Africa. He is also mentioned in a book I had translated and published in a limited edition of 300 copies, in 2005, called ' GERMAN SCHUTZTRUPPE IN EAST AFRICA 1889-1905 - A History of the Imperial Protectorate Force German East Africa" by Ernst Nigmann. ( A few copies still available. ) appended below is the translation from Walter Nuhn's book on the 1905-07 Maji-Maji Revolt. The Morogoro Naval-Infantry Detachment ( part of a 150 man Seebattalion force sent from Germany ) Commander Leutnant Engelbrecht Strength 1 Officer, 4 NCOs, 28 Men, 1 Surgeon Arrival 30. September 1905: Cruiser "Bussard" to Bagamojo, and from there by caravan Relief for the Schutztruppe unit under Captain von Wangenheim The Naval-Infantry Detachment had a most arduous trip: by ship to Bagamojo and from there by caravan to Morogoro , which wasn't reached until 30. September 1905. After Schutztruppe-Captain von Wangenheim left the station, the detachment didn't launch an expedition to Kilossa until after 10. November 1905 , because of the threatening situation. However, the expedition only reached Mkata. On 22. November 1905, the governor ordered the detachment transferred to Mpapua. It was relieved there on 04. December 1905 and transferred again, this time to Kiboriani, which was reached on 18. December 1905 . The detachment remained there until it returned home. Again, all your info much appreciated, am trying to reconstitute his complete group. I am a relative newcomer to Imperial German, am collecting papers, documents and groups, 1860 to 1918, and just beginning tto learn plus buy research volumes. ( so mny tat I need ) I have been primarily collecting French, Italian & US groups, 1850's to present. Bob
