Lucky, the dates of his Prussian orders are to be found in the 1905 edition of the "Königlich Preußische Ordensliste for the Red Eagle Order and the fourth supplement of the same publication covering the period February 1908 to January 1909 for his award of the Crown Order. His biographical details are to be found in the "Biographisches Handbuch des deutschen Auswärtigen Dienstes 1871-1845", Band 2, Verlag Ferdinand Schöningh, Paderborn 2005. Regards Glenn

David, he was awarded the RAO4 on 18 January 1905. Lucky, you might be interested to know he was also awarded the Prussian Crown Order 3rd class on 6 May 1908. He was the Konsul in Fiume from 24 August 1906 until his retirement on 6 May 1908. Born on the 19th of May 1858 in Berlin, he died on 23 October 1911 at Lankwitz/Berlin. Regards Glenn

Dave, not conclusive, but a Richard Michelmann is listed in the 1914 Halle Adressbuch. The then Leutnant d.R. Michelmann of IR 135 was on the rolls of Landwehrbezirk Halle in 1914. Regards Glenn

Chaps, he took his time getting commissioned. He was not promoted to Leutnant der Reserve until 27 January 1905 in the Infanterie- (Leibgarde-) Regiment Nr. 115.

Recalled for service in WW1, he was promoted to Oberleutnant der Landwehr a.D. on 18 April 1915 whilst serving at the Kriegsgefangenlager Limburg. Regards Glenn

I should think around 1874/75 as a Major. You correctly identify his neck orders. His Mecklenburg Crown is not visible in this portrait. The two Russian orders are a Wladimir 4th Class with Swords and a Saint Anne 3rd Class. Regards Glenn

It is Flügeladjutant and later General Oskar von Lindequist. Regards Glenn

Andreas, a portrait as an officer in the Reichswehr. Regards Glenn

Lukasz, I similarly checked the Prussian Ordensliste up to the last supplement in 1913. He had nothing from Prussia until then. The extract from Christian above would seem to rule out a 1913/1914 award. Regards Glenn

He was awarded the RAO3 in 1815. This from the 1818 Handbuch über den Königlich Preussischen Hof und Staat. He was still listed in the 1825 Ordensliste with that sole Prussian award. The supplement to the 1928 Handbuch shows he was awarded the GSF2 that year. Regards Glenn

His RAO3S and Légion d'Honneur as confirmed in the 1848 Handbuch über den Königlich Preussischen Hof und Staat. Regards Glenn

A somewhat older General von Hutier in the company of Generals Rudolf von Horn and Kurt von Hammerstein-Equord. This from the Beeldbankwo2 site. Regards Glenn
