    1. 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.
    2. A first name, the aviator Fritz Siebel (1891-1954). From the Kölnische Zeitung date 05 Sep 1932. More info is available online here:- https://daten.digitale-sammlungen.de/0008/bsb00085893/images/index.html?id=00085893&groesser=&fip=weayaxsxdsydeayaeayaxdsydeayaqrs&no=1&seite=343 https://hannsklemm.wordpress.com/siebel-friedrich/
    3. A first name: Lt dR Paul Meyer (MWB 28.6.1917) from the Bielefelder General-Anzeiger dated 11th July 1917. His EK1 award was noted in the same newspaper, dated 02nd November 1915.
    4. I didn't even notice the helmet beside him. Von Feldmann has a really a nice ribbon bar. Here is an unknown Bavarian aviator. Can anyone read the name on the back?
    5. The first name of Hauptmann Zapfe (PB 11) is Kurt. His EK1 is noted in the Berliner Börsen-Zeitung dated 18th Feb 1915.
    6. New first name: Lt dR Karl Rother (page 5):- http://www.bibliotekacyfrowa.pl/Content/54925/PDF/directory.pdf
    7. Hptm Jacobsen (MWB 12.06.1917) is Georg Robert Paul (17.06.1885) son of Prof Dr Johannes & Pauline Jacobsen. From the Saale Zeitung dated 19.06.1917. Later Major aD. I'm not sure of his pre-war regiment, but it might have been FAR 71. His father died serving with LIR 28 in 1915.
    8. The Oblt dR Jacobsen (MWB 17.07.1917) is Emil from IR 173. His EK1 was announced in the General-Anzeiger für Halle dated 16.07.1915. His HOH3x appeared in the Saale-Zeitung on 31.07.1917.
    9. Hi All, Not sure if this man had the Princely or HOH3x (or both?) - Lt dR Oskar Noth from 2 GRzF. Both articles are from the Hallische Nachrichten. One is dated 27.07.1918 and the other is 24.09.1918.
    10. The Lt dR Bodo Schmidt on page 36 of this thread is probably the man listed in the MWB dated 20.10.1917. His name appears in the Saale Zeitung on this very date. He also appears on the 06.11.1917 publication, along with a new first name - Lt dR Franz Weise (MWB 03.11.1917).
    11. First name for Oblt v Rauchfuß is Hans, from IR 84. The other man (Kurt from IR 31) was promoted to Hauptmann already in 1915. Hans later became an observer and served in Flieger-Abt A 258.
    12. A new first name, and a photo - Bruno Kroschewski :- http://www.homepage-andreas-meininger.de/Familien_Chronik_Kroschewski_Kroczewski_Kroschewsky_1342-2012_von_Guenter_Krome.pdf
