      Hello Glenn;

      You were recommended to me as a great source for information and photos on German generals. 

      Are there any photos of Major-General Ernst Roessler?  

      He was an Oberst in 1912 with IR of Voigts-Rhetz #79(3rd Hanover) and reached the rank of Major General by WWI.  

      Please feel free to PM me.

      Thank you,

      Claudius

        Hi Claudius,

        unfortunately at this moment in time I do not have an image of General Roessler. Should I acquire one, I will of course pass it on to you.

        Regards

        Glenn

        Hello Glenn;

        Thank you for looking!  As I said, you came recommended as a great source on German Generals.  If you don't have him, then I can understand that it's likely there isn't any publicly available sources that has a photo of him.

        Thank you again for looking.

        Regards,

        Claudius

      Apparently, there are some International Military Magazines for sale; and they being offered at a small discount of ONE MILLION DOLLARS.

        dr. evil must be holding those mags for ransom again

        hahaha...I think what happened is that Chris had to post a value, but actually wanted to list them on a per mag rate. Nevertheless, he got me with good "zinger" for my quip.

        just a touch of the virus going around. I'm back on solid foods.

      Back from a family vacation -visiting the coastline and islands of the largest (by surface area) freshwater lake in the world.

        Welcome back Leatherstocking!

      2. Claudius

        Claudius

        You are correct. And thanks for the welcome back.

    7. Claudius

      Back from San Diego...saw sand, surf, scenery, SeaWorld, seals and USS Midway Museum.

      1. Mervyn Mitton

        Mervyn Mitton

        I think it is my favourite US City. The gaslight district is very special - and the World famous Zoo. Don't remember the Midway - is that new ? Mervyn

        It is outstanding. Check this out: http://www.midway.org/
        Funny story; I was heading for the "aircraft carrier" in S.D. bay when I discovered I had to choose from three! Both the Nimitz and Carl Vinson were also at dock. Both visible from the USS Midway.

    8. Claudius

      Back from the digital desert...and maybe that's not a good thing.  It's nice to be cut off from the net collective and only experience the nature and people that are right there in front of you.

      Casino 100 out of bankruptcy. In City Council offers to re-locate to their former site. The petitioners are defenestrated. ~finis~ Godspeed Lorenzo

      Enough said. The Chairman's assertation is quite correct.

    14. Claudius

      For three weeks now I’ve been trying to find an invisible (to me anyway) enemy in my computer. With consecutive anti-virus scans I think I’m clean. However, some of my programs have been damaged and need to be either repaired or re-installed.

      1. Claudius

        Claudius

        going on four. Clean, but some programs are still damaged.

      2. Claudius

        Claudius

        may it's time for a new computer.

        if it was a horse I could just shoot it...sell the meat to a dog food cannery and then get a new pony.

      Happy Anniversary to my wife. And although she will never visit this site and read this I do love her and I promise not to spend our retirement money on medals.

        In the long run, retirement money on medals will probably prove to be a better investment than a pension fund!!! You mark my words!! However its parting with them that will be the problem!!! Happy anniversary!

      4. Claudius

        Claudius

        Oh, I think you are right JimZ, but convincing the wife is the hard part. Besides, it's not a lot of money in the retirement account.

      Happy Easter!

      1. Mervyn Mitton

        Mervyn Mitton

        And to you and your Family Claudius. For most people Easter has lost it's original meaning - however, I still think it is a time for reflection.
        Best wishes Mervyn

      2. Claudius

        Claudius

        Thank you Mervyn. I hope you and yours had a great Easter as well. For me, Easter and the Christmas have become a time for renewal as my children begin to comprehend the meaning behind the candy, presents and celebrations.

    18. Claudius

      Happy Victoria Day Canada!

      Hello Saumua;
      I see you recently joined GMiC. Welcome. That is a great piece you have. Do you collect Imperial German Colonial? If you do, I would love to see your other items.
      Regards,
      Brian (aka Claudius)

    20. Claudius

      I don't know for sure what Heaven or Hell is like, but I know GMIC rule 6.2 is alive and strongly enforced.

    21. Claudius

      I might be getting familiar with the new computer and OS. In the meantime, I have three medal bars to show; A Schwarburg-Sondershausen (5) medal, German recipient with a Romanian and Swedish Olympic awards and finally a medal bar that I had before but with a new development.

    22. Claudius

      I woke up today feeling great. Not feeling Gold -better than that. I feel like PLATINUM!

      1. Claudius

        Claudius

        Update -Supplemental: It has been brought to my attention that Platinum prices have been trailing Gold for some time now, but the sentiment expressed earlier is still the same.

    23. Claudius

      I'm back from the "Wilderness" of central California and you will be glad to know that the USS Pampanito looks pretty good for a 70 year boat.

        Welcome back scout!

      2. Claudius

        Claudius

        Thanks Nick. Yes, that is the Pampanito. And those are better photos than mine.

    24. Claudius

      I'm back...

    25. Claudius

      I've been away and my computer crashed. I tried to revive it with new parts but it couldn't be resuscitated. (7 is 110 in human years). I’m still getting my new one broken in, but when I’m able I hope to photograph and narrate on three (3) Imp. German medal bars.

      1. Claudius

        Claudius

        nope. the new computer is buggy. back to the store for another solution. There is a disquieting similarity to Henry VIII and his wives.

      2. Claudius

        Claudius

        new computer, new OS and now some old photos and documents to retrieve. <<<fingers crossed>>>
