    Hello I have two signatures that I want to find out the owners. First one is on a very handsome EKII Doc from a grouping to Bernhard Kniep (EKII, Hanseatic Cross, Hindy and a Turkish War Medal owner).

    Thanks to Kevin for referring this thread to me!

    One more signature to identify. This time from the home front (at least for me!)

    A handwritten Turkish War Medal document from Istanbul. Does anyone has an idea if it is signed Braun or something else?

    On a silver presentation box are engraved the name of 56 PLM winners, mostly Flieger and U-boot commanders.  But on each side are, I think, 6 names of Army Officers with PLMs.  I have had help identifying two names so far.  Any help IDing the last 4 would be appreciated!

    I can't read the name of the commander or what artillery group he commanded. Trarottoki or Traratloki or something like that? Although it was an award recommendation to German soldiers, I wonder if the signatory might be Austro-Hungarian or even Bulgarian?

    This is my first post.

    Start with this E.K. 2. "urkunde" from 18. august 1916 to ??? L. Hermann signed 20. august 1916 by Major und Kommandeur der Pioniere  IX K.A. Krischbert ?

    I have sought on the internet and can not find anything.

    Do any of the members know who this is?

    Hello!

    Does anyone have an officers list of the High command of Heeresgruppe Mackensen in 1917 including turkish officers?

    I need to know who signed this paper (it´s for a visit of the imperial castle in Bucharest)

    He was the Imperial Turkish authorized general staff officer in the high command of the army group Mackensen.

    Major Tewfik (Binbaşı Tevfik): chief of staff 26th turkish Division
    Oberleutnant Schuekri (Üsteğmen Şükrü)
    Oberleutnant Sirri (Üsteğmen Sırrı)
    Leutnant Sureya (Teğmen Süreyya): Btl.Kdr. II./türk. 73.Inf.Rgt
    Unteroffizier Chewfki (Astsubay Şevki)

    signed, Major ???

    Thanks a lot!
