Bernhard H. Holst

Thanks Bernhard!

This guy was signing in the same offive... also without rank.... Von ?anten ?

 

 

[Bernhard H.Holst]

Hello Chris.

For Post 78 my guess is von Xanten.

 A bell in my mind says a name much presented in the German Army of old and otherwise.

Bernhard H. Holst

Chris,

a Major Hermann-Gustav v. Santen was on the General Staff of the Chef des Feldeisenbahnwesens. In 1914 an Oberleutnant in Husaren-Regiment Nr. 14.

Hi, thanks guys, it looks like Santen is the winner in view of his posting.

Way less chance on this one I think....

Hi.

bought this photo of a saxon Hauptmann at the weekend. Clearly visible his shoulderboards with "178" or "179". Dedication reads: "z. Erinnerung an Wurzen August 1917" But his signature is still a misery for me. First I thougt Köhnecke but can´t find nobody on Ranklists or Roth. What are youre clues?

[Chris Boonzaier]

Another one that should be easy, but somehow is not :-(

Major Roland Küpper.

Hi Glenn,

 

thanks a million, I was stuck on "Kümm"!

Another Gardeist.....

[Chris Boonzaier]

This man recieved the EK2 twice!! I assume the Kavellerie Officer is easier, the Abwicklungs amt guy more difficult...

[Glenn J]

Chris,

ever heard of a guy called von Rundstedt?

I think the Abteilungs Vorstand is "Reinick", probably Robert from FAR 19 at beginning of the war.

Admittedly I only had the Wikipedia page, but I cannot find and Regiments Führer on the list that looked anything like this... Does anyone have an idea?

Hi Chris.

The Kommandeur was Freiherr Fritz v. Wedeklind, but this signature is from the "Regiments-Führer"

Note, that he was only Hauptmann as a regiment-leader!

I can´t read it clearly, but there were a lot of "von Zychlinksi" in the army. I couldn´t find a fiiting one in the Ehren-Rangliste, maybe he was a reserve-officer.
