    1. Karsten, awarded the RAO4 on 17 September 1909. Permission granted to accept and wear the award per order of 8 October 1909 and published in the Bavarian War Ministry Verordnungsblatt Nr. 34 of 25 October 1909. Regards Glenn
    2. Karsten, perfect match for Hauptmann Hans v. Schlichtegroll of 1. Infanterie-Regiment König in 1909. You will find him as a Major in your 1911 list. The China medal is the award in steel. Regards Glenn
    3. Paul, he commanded RIR 75 (211. Infanterie-Division) at the time of his award gazetted on 2 May 1917. Regards Glenn
    4. The entire regiment wore silver (neusilber) fittings. The regimental staff and I. Bataillon were differentiated by a scroll with the inscription "Semper Talis". Regards Glenn
    5. Chris, the I. and II. Battalions wore white plume and white equipment, the Füsilier Battalion (and IV. Battalion when it existed) wore black. Regards Glenn
    6. Chris, he is a Drummer/ Fife player of one of the Grenadier Battalions of the 1. GRzF. The Corps of Drums and Regimental Band wore the red plume. That pattern of Schwalbennester is that of a Guards' Drummer. The Regimental Band wore a different pattern. Regards Glenn
    7. Jock, he is a Reichsmarine Matrose. The five pointed star is the insignia worn by all junior ratings who did not belong to the machinist branch. If he had rank chevrons, the star would be worn above them. Regards Glenn
    8. Hi Andreas, #36 Major Wilhelm Eben (1849-1924), battalion commander of II./Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 95 around 1895. Generalmajor (18.12.01). Retired as a char. Generalleutnant. Regards Glenn
    9. Andreas, Oberst (later Generalmajor) Wilhelm Rehkopf, commanding Feldartillerie-Regiment Nr. 8 in Saarlouis around 1895. Regards Glenn
    10. Andreas, nice photo of Major Emil Riederer commanding III./6. Infanterie-Regiment in Amberg around 1896. Regards Glenn
    11. Andreas, It is Major Friedrich Cronnenbold of 1. Ulanen-Regiment around 1891. Regards Glenn
    12. Andreas, I am fairly sure that is Oberst (later Generalmajor) Albert Crusius, Kommandeur of Feldartillerie-Regiment Nr. 4 around 1872. I believe that is a Luxemburg Order of the Oak Crown Officers' Cross in the end position on the medal bar. RAO4, KO3, EK1 70, DA, LEK4 Regards Glenn
    13. Andreas, next: Oberst Eduard Wolff, Kommandeur of Fußartillerie-Regiment Nr 8 in Metz around 1895 RAO4, KO3, DA, MMV2, WK2c Regards Glenn
    14. Hi Andreas, of course! Not a Chevauleger but an Ulanen Officer: Rittmeister Oskar Renz of 1. Ulanen-Regiment around 1895. And yes, that is a KO4. Regards Glenn
    15. Andreas, The later General der Infanterie Luitpold Frhr. v. und zu der Tann-Rathsamhausen as a General Staff Hauptmann attached to the Prussian General Staff in Berlin around 1883. It is a Prussian RAO4 before the Saint Maurice and Lazarus. Regards Glenn
    16. Andreas, General der Infanterie Richard Frhr. v. Süßkind-Schwendi. Regards Glenn
    17. Andreas, Rittmeister Hermann Hutter of 5. Cheveaulegers-Regiment around 1891. Adjutant of the 3. Division in Nurnberg. Regards Glenn
    18. Hi Andreas, Major Friedrich Wilhelm Schoening (1846-1900), General Staff of the 21. Division in Frankfurt around 1889. Later commander of Füsilier-Regiment Nr. 34. Regards Glenn
