    1. The first name of Hptm Welsch (IR 130) is Hermann. He is mentioned in the loss list.
    2. Not sure if we have mentioned him already - Ernst Werner. From Jenaische Zeitung 15.09.1918.
    3. The Major Strempel is Arthur VON Strempel (1872-1962). He is also mentioned in the verlustlisten.
    4. Hptm dR Grimm is 'probably' Werner Grimm (1883-1942) from 5 Garde-Feldartillerie Regiment. He is mentioned in the WW1 wound lists and his EK1 was reported in the Posener Tageblatt on 13 July 1915.
    5. I believe the name on this photo is Malbrandt (Oberstleutnant aD Wilhelm Malbrandt). If so, he is a new name to add to the list.
    6. A death notice for sale on ebay, and a picture - Arthur von Wolff (1875-1963). https://www.ebay.de/itm/295121133669?hash=item44b6972065:g:Cu4AAOSw6kJi5PWk
    7. A first name: Paul Görlitz. From the Saale Zeitung dated 08.08.1917.
    8. Hi all, The Hptm Mau from MWB 31.10.1918 is probably a typo, as there is no person with this rank in the Rangliste.
    9. The first name for Hptm dR Menzel is Walter, from IR 19. His EK1 is noted in the 18th June 1915 edition of the Posener Tageblatt. His record on Ancestry states that he was born in 1880, and he died only a week before the end of WW1. The verlustlisten gives his regiment as IR 154, but it gives the wrong year of birth. Here is a photo from Ancestry:-
    10. The Lt dR Großkinsky is Karl, from RIR 110. He also had the BZ3bx. From the Mannheimer General-Anzeiger date 30 July 1918. https://druckschriften-digital.marchivum.de/zd/periodical/search/173682?query=großkinsky
    11. Hi Christophe, Sorry I haven't found the date for Heymann. I might have found a new recipient though - Generalmajor Theodor Leutwein. I did a cut-and-paste job on the article:- https://de.metapedia.org/wiki/Leutwein,_Theodor_Gotthilf
    12. Here's one I saw on ebay recently
    13. Not sure if this is the princely order or not - Gunther Kleinert 1890-1941.
    14. Hi Daniel, Thanks a lot for your reply. Perhaps he did not have enough front-line hours to warrant the pilot's badge? Here is another unknown officer, I think he is wearing the HOH3x on his ribbon bar.
