    1. Hi All, I'm looking for more information about this man (first name, date of birth etc.). I think he was commander of the Ottoman Fliegerabteilung 1 in 1915. Thanks & Regards, Matt.
    2. Hi all, Love seeing these photos. Here is my one which I posted on another forum. It might be Lt dR Adolf Degener, but I cannot say for sure...
    3. Hi all, Can anyone identify this signature? It should be easy but I just can't read it for some reason....
    4. Hi all, I used to have an aerial photo from FFA 59 dated October 1916. It showed an area named Flaucourt. So they would have been operating somewhere in this region....
    5. Very interesting! Thanks Glenn. Does anyone know what awards appear on his ribbon bar?
    6. Hi all, Two nice portraits from ebay recently. Sorry about the marks, they were made by the sellers. Are these individuals identifiable based on their awards?
    7. What can I say except wow! I tip my hat to you knowledgeable folks. Many thanks for all the replies.
    8. Hi all, Thanks for your comments. I couldn't find anything matching this award online either. Attached is the photo in it's entirety - I think the name on the reverse is General Buchholz, but I've not heard of him before...
    9. Hello all, Does anyone know what these awards are besides the Iron Cross? Thanks,
    10. Referring back to my own post (no.27) from 2014, could the name be Hptm von Hünersdorff ?
    11. The only Hptm d.R. that I have found so far is Friedrich Ludwig Eduard Otto Lehmann born 13.Feb.1885 in Munsterberg. He was is Fusilier-Regiment 36 and he marriage record is on ancestry - but I don't think he is likely to be your man. But at least you might be able to rule him out with the details above?
    12. Hi all, This photo is believed to be of Hptm Lothar Geibel of FAR 2. Can someone tell me what awards he is wearing please? Thanks all, Matt
    13. Ok here is my second guy I posted this ebay photo on another forum but unfortunately didn't have any success there. He is wearing the Prussian Flugzeugführer-Abzeichen, the Eisener Halbmond, the Spanienkreuz with swords, and maybe the Hohenzollern (HHO3x)? Does anyone know what else? Thanks,
    14. Thanks Andreas, Interesting regarding the KVK - maybe this is the award he is wearing through the button-hole? I wasn't aware that the Friedrich-August Kreuz came with a clasp! But I'm not an expert on decorations. Your choice for number 6 appears to be a good shout. I thought it would be easy to find the answer due to the clasp, but such was not the case. The last 3? awards are unfortunately too vague for me to identify. As most of these medals were fairly common I suspect that there were a fair few officers with this combination... Thanks for your help!
    15. Hi Dave, Thanks a lot! Very well worked out sir. Also thanks to everybody for their replies
