Hi GreyC, Thanks for your research; I will try and check if he died in Berlin and get back to you asap. Really good of you thanks D

Hi GreyC, Thanks for such a quick response; Info is rather sketchy but in 1928 he was in the 9th but he might have been, later, an officer perhaps as mother definitely remembers him on 'the large black horse'! Maybe as he was a career soldier he was promoted later but i think the family was quite well off from his roots. Just rumours/supposition but they were about a fairly good career. I think he was mostly known as Hermann Jordan (from Bernberg) Thanks for your help and interest D

Dear all, I am looking for info on a Unteroffiziere (in 1928) Hermann Otto Friedrich Jordan. (born 1902 died in about 1936. He was apparently a professional soldier. He was in the 9th prussian (again in 1928 based in Berlin Spandau where he got married). He was my grandfather and died when my mother was young. The only real memories she has was he used to ride a large black horse at the head of his soldiers- lol. I think he got to be a higher rank and was an 'Uhlan'? Also any info or pics of the regiment during that time would be great too. I have no idea how to find info about him so if anybody can help that will be great. Also my deutsch is rubbish!! Thanks Derek
