I too am rather reluctant to respond to requests containing a fragment of information and/or containing disfiguration. Glenn -

Request for Inforrmation on a Major von Roques-Maumont (from Württemberg) ~1917
Glenn J replied to Blackhorse's topic in Germany: Imperial: Rick (Research) Lundstrom Forum for Documentation and Photographs
He was a bit tricky. Prior to 1902 he is listed as Roques-Maumont but following that as Eckert gen. von Roques-Maumont. He retired in 1907 and unusually as a former regular officer, his wartime service is not listed in the Ehrenrangliste. Consequently I went back to about 1895 where I found him as a Sekonde-Lieutenant in Grenadier-Regiment Nr. 123. He is listed thereafter until his retirement in the Prussian Rangliste. I found him again in a "Stellenbesetzung" of mobile Württemberg troops in 1915 in LIR 120 and again in the Württemberg Militär-Verordnungsblatt of 1916. He falls off the radar after that. This portrait of him as a Sekonde-Lieutenant in GR 123 in the late nineties appears on the Landesarchiv Baden-Württemberg site albeit wrongly named as Roques-Naumont. Regards Glenn -

Hello, Arthur Eckert gen. von Roques-Maumont was a retired Württemberg infantry captain (13.9.06) who was recalled for service in WW1. In 1915 he was wounded with Landwehr-Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 120. Regards Glenn -

Unknown OberstLeutnant on Urkunde IR 42
Glenn J replied to Ostuf's topic in Germany: Imperial: Rick (Research) Lundstrom Forum for Documentation and Photographs
chaps, he left Prussian service on 3 November 1911 to enter Turkish military service, hence the gap in the army list between 1911-1914. His entry in the Offizier-Stammliste of IR 42 shows that he assumed command of IR 42 on 29 October 1914 although it does not differentiat between temporary and permanent command details. His further wartime appointments are shown as: 1.7.17: Leader of the reserve officer candidate course at Warthelager 1.3.18: Commander of IR 402 and finally commander of 31. Reserve-Infanterie-Brigade from 1 May 1918. 8.9.20: Charakter as Generalmajor. Regards Glenn -
Hindenburg at Feld-Fl.Abt.14
Glenn J replied to The Prussian's topic in Germany: Imperial: Rick (Research) Lundstrom Forum for Documentation and Photographs
Charles, although wartime appointments are not shown, the 1918 Prussian army seniority list details the active field officers of the Luftstreitkräfte as follows: 2 X Oberstleutnant (Thomsen and Siegert) and 17 majors. Wartime appointments are not given. Presumably a tiny handful of reserve/Landwehr can be added but the promotion of these officers to field rank was still relatively rare even in wartime. The 1919 list shows an increase although those officer already retired and of course fatalities since the previous year are no longer listed: 1 Oberst (Thomsen) 1 Oberstleutnant (Siegert) and 25 majors.

2 imperial pics with questions (Prussia/Hessia)
Glenn J replied to ixhs's topic in Germany: Imperial: Rick (Research) Lundstrom Forum for Documentation and Photographs
Hi, your second photograph shows a military official. My best guess would be Intendantur-Sekretär Caspar Dietz of the 25. Division in Darmstadt around the late seventies/early eighties. Regards Glenn -

Oberst from Bavaria
Glenn J replied to Ostuf's topic in Germany: Imperial: Rick (Research) Lundstrom Forum for Documentation and Photographs
The orders fit perfectly for the then Rittmeister Eduard Pfretzschner of 1. Uhlanen-Regiment. The epaulettes worn by the Bavarian army prior to 1873 did not distinguish rank. The rank is shown by the three strips of braid on the collar = Hauptmann/Rittmeister. The portrait was taken sometime after his May 1872 authorisation to wear his Russian Vladimir Order 4th Class and the introduction of the Prussian pattern rank insignia the following April (effective 1 August 1873).
