      Braun is a good find! His EK1 was announced in the Badische Landes-Zeitung dated 05 June 1916

      Lt dR Walter Weiss, from the Stettin General-Anzeiger. This might be the same Lt dR Weiss noted in the MWB for 31st Oct 1918. https://digitale-bibliothek-mv.de/viewer/fullscreen/PPN800155572_1918/103/

      Here is Major aD Hans Masius (formerly of Luftschiffer-Bataillon Nr 5). Can anyone identify his medals please?

      A new name, although I did not find any confirmation in the regimental history - Lt dR Gerhard Morisse (see page 168):- https://noa.gwlb.de/servlets/MCRFileNodeServlet/Document_derivate_00000107/00000501-1.pdf

      A new first name, and one to add to my list of flyers! Lt dR Fritz Rehorn. From the Solinger Zeitung 31st Aug 1918. Probably the Lt dR Rehhorn mentioned in the MWB dated 19th Oct 1918.

      Hi Dave, Thanks for the additional info on Albert Schmidt, and sorry I got his name wrong. Here is a new name - Otto Mossdorf. The website also mentions Heinz Schimming whose gravestone was posted by Komtur on 29th Nov 2020. http://www.denkfried.de/wp/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Kreuzberg_halleschetor.html Best Regards, Matt.

      Good detective work! His name is Dietrich Eggers, according to the verlustlisten. Ok I have another Schmidt - I believe his first name is Waldemar Schmidt from IR 75. This is from the Bremer Zeitung dated 01st December 1942. Perhaps someone can provide more details on this man.
    12. Mattyboy
      A first name - Lt dR Martin Schmidt from IR 20 (MWB dated 17/Aug/1918). From Karsdorf as per the verlustlisten. See pages 8-10 of the attachment. http://idb.ub.uni-tuebingen.de/opendigi/LXV304a-22#p=14

      I don't think we have mentioned him before - Rittm Kurt Müller.
    14. Mattyboy
      Hi all, Is this the same man?
    15. Mattyboy
      Here is the death notice for Kaspar Gerlach Hi all, I have a note that Konrad Grassmann served in FAR 36 and FAR 259. I also have a Hptm Wilhelm Grassmann from IR 28 & Inf-Btn 703 as receiving the HOH3x. But I'm not sure where I got this information from!

      Wilhelm Glover should read Wilhelm Gloyer. Award appeared in MWB dated 11th July 1918.

      Hi Dave, Thanks for the added info on von Canstein! Lt dR Alfred Petersen also had the BZ3bx, BsV, HH and pilot's badge. Here is a first name and award info. Hauptmann dL Otto Rasehorn. Published in the Hamburger Nachrichten on 07th July 1918:-

      Hi Nicolas, Great photos! The first LW man (with SA3axmKr and HT?) is Ernst Mersmann. The third man is Friedrich Noltenius https://www.leo-bw.de/web/guest/detail/-/Detail/details/DOKUMENT/labw_findmittel_06/labw-1-337010/Noltenius Friedrich

      Found this (slightly poor) photo of Franz Külp from the book 'Deutsche Naturwissenschaft, Technik und Erfindung im Weltkriege'
    21. Mattyboy
      Hi webr55, You might be right about Franz Külp, it's a shame that we do not have other contemporary evidence to confirm it. Thanks for the additional info on Frhr v Canstein. If anyone has details of his WW1 career I would be very happy to hear from you! Here is a pre-war photo of GL Ernst Krüger and his ribbon bar. He is possibly the Oblt who is mentioned in the MWB dated 02nd March 1918.
    22. Mattyboy
      The death notice for Franz Külp does not mention the HOH3x. It could have been the Hptm Külp from IR 81, or Hptm Carl-Leo Külp from IR 118 & Kadettenhaus Karlsruhe.
    23. Mattyboy
      Here's a strange one. Because I cannot find anything about his WW1 career, not even his regiment. Luftwaffe officer Richard Freiherr von Canstein:- https://www.lot-tissimo.com/en-gb/auction-catalogues/hermann-historica-ohg/catalogue-id-srher10030/lot-e57fef7a-a8f3-420b-ae1a-a6a501200b96
