Chris Boonzaier Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Damn.... When I buy a re searchable item I never start the research until I have the item in my hand... otherwise my superstition says it will get lost in the post.... Last week I just confirmed a few points on ancestry before buying an item, but did not download anything to avoid jinxing it. Now I have the item, and my ancestry access no longer works!!!! :-) If anyone has access, can you please tell me when Franz Schuegraf was wounded? I think it was sometime in November 1917.... Thanks Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Boonzaier Posted October 28, 2017 Author Share Posted October 28, 2017 HI, interesting, but I think more the exception than the rule. I am guessing maybe 1 or 2 companies used to enter them, but most did not. I have looked up 15-20 Ring wearers and none of them had the ring entered, so this is a really cool entry.

spolei Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Hello Chris, here another example. Awarding in october 1917. I think the early awardings would be signed in the rangliste. A friend told me about 67 officers-rings. Exist a list of them? I know only this names of soldiers and NCO'shttp://www.kriegsopfer.org/Weltkrieg/Infanterie_Leib_Regiment/Leiberring.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted October 28, 2017 Author Share Posted October 28, 2017 Hi, I researched some Guys who recieved it in July 1917, no entries. As each record was entered by the company clerks for the mans respective company, I would bet that it was dependent on the company as to whether the details were entered or not. i.e. 1. Komp entered the rings, 2. Komp did not. Here are a list of the officers... In the part 2 there are 6 officers who also recieved the Manschafts ring then later recieved the officers one.

Deutschritter Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Three Tapferkeits-Offiziere: Ludwig Streil received the Military Merit Cross (Bavaria), 3rd Class with the Crown and Swords (BMVK3.mKr⚔/BM5c.mKr⚔) on 11 September 1914, the Bavarian Bravery Medal (Military Merit Medal) in Gold (BMVM1/BgMV) on 1 December 1914, the Wound Badge (Verwundetenabzeichen 1918) in Gold and the Military Merit Order (Bavaria), 4th Class with Swords (BMV4⚔/BM4⚔) on 3 March 1919, among other awards. Ferdinand Hipper received the Military Merit Order (Bavaria), 4th Class with Swords (BMV4⚔/BM4⚔) on 8 November 1918. Nikolaus Puhl (1893–1954), received the Military Merit Order (Bavaria), 4th Class with Swords (BMV4⚔/BM4⚔) on 12 May 1918, he would later become lord of the manor in Landenham near Munich on the Austrian border and Lieutenant Colonel of the Wehrmacht. I imagine all three received the NCO AND the officer Leiberring? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
