    1. A couple of forum members were very helpful recently in tracking down information on Rittmeister Hemmerde and General Vollrath von Hellermann.

      How about this one for a 'hat-trick' for the imperial researchers..........

      I have a busby from LHR2 which has the name 'K. Kroll' in it. It's pre-1897 as there is no Reich cockade. It's black bearskin, not opposum or sealskin, with an officer-style lining but OR-pattern cockade. Presumably 'K. Kroll' was an NCO or a 1-year volunteer. I have tried various archives and the net, but no luck.

      Does anyone have anything in their records relating to a 'K. Kroll' serving with LHR2 ??

      I know it's a long shot, him not being an officer, but then the other two long-shots I referred to forum members paid off dividends!

      Here's the busby (with little Braunschweiger friend)..........
