Andreas, His Priesdorff entry. Glenn

The earlier document is presumably that awarding him the RSt2. This from the 1852 Prussian Rangliste. Glenn

This from the history of the Garde-Pionier-Bataillon. He was promoted to Generalmajor on 10.1061 and to char. Generalleutnant on 18.12.64. According to Priesdorff he received the RSt1 on 24 Sep 1864. Glenn

A less than brilliant portrait of Major Erich as commander of the Garde-Pionier-Bataillon (1851-1853). Glenn

Unfortunately not the Telegraphen-Bataillone Nr. 2 Ambrosius. I was able to cross reference his address from the 1902 Beurlaubtenstande Rangliste which gave an address in Charlottenburg with the 1902 Berlin Adreßbuch. And it was a then Oberpostpraktikant Fritz Ambrosius living at the given address: Friedbergstraße 22. Glenn

Andreas, Is that a merchant marine uniform? As a Korvetten-Kapitän, he would not have been entitled to 4 cuff rings. Glenn

Rick, I think probably cousins, The details of the fathers are different. Regards Glenn

Nor Naval officials for that matter. They are always things I am on the lookout for! Glenn

Rick, he is listed in the 1 May 1940 Dienstaltersliste B (E-Offiziere) on page 30. Regards Glenn

Success! This from panzer-archive.de: Major (E) 01.03.35 OHLERT Fritz (Stab WBK Gelsenkirchen) Oberstleutnant (01.02.40) Glenn

This from the Offizier-Stammliste of Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 74 published in Hannover in 1913. Glenn

I have not tracked down a first name for Ohlert yet, but it was Werner Oesterreich. Regards Glenn

Save you a job. Glenn

I should think Leutnant Ohlert (18.11.06 Jj) of Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 84 and Leutnant Oesterreich (19.11.08 J2j) of Füsilier-Regiment Nr. 36 who both appeared in the Prussian Army list for the first time in 1909 Ohlert had a Patent two years senior to Oesterreich and was therefore an Abiturient with back dated seniority. Regards Glenn

Rick, Here is the first part of his entry in the IR 61 Stammliste. Glenn

The following 10 full colonels were the only Prussian officers in 1895 with the exact combination of an RAO3S, KO3, EK2 70, DA. As far as I can ascertain, only Oberst Stolte was a former Hannoverian officer. Fürstenberg Frhr. von: DR 15 Hitzigrath: IR 54 Klauer: 3. Ing.-Inspektion Langenmayr: Landwehrbezirk Frankfurt a.M. Mende: 3. Ing.-Inspektion Schroetter Frhr. von: IR 56 Stolte: IR 67 Werckmeister: IR 22 Zobel: Landwehrbezirk Hannover Zschüschen: IR 82 Regards Glenn

He looks good according to the IR 61 Stammliste: I will see if anyone else comes into the frame. Regards Glenn

Rick, have you considered Oberst Ferdinand Stolte? Sec.-Lt. in 7. Infanterie-Regiment and died as an Oberst à la suite in IR 67 and Commandant of Diedenhofen on 24 June 1896. Shown with: RAO3S, KO3, EK2 70, DA in 1896. Regards Glenn

Indeed it was but it was never transferred to the Kaiserliche Marine. The Austro-Hungarian Mars is shown in the 1914 A-H Schematismus as Kasemattschiff employed as a harbour protection ship at the Pola Naval Base in the Adriatic. Regards Glenn

He is wearing the uniform of a German Deckoffizier. The SMS Mars was struck from the rolls of German Warships in February 1914. An armed trawler of that name served with the North Sea Screening Flotilla during the war. Regards Glenn

Ian, I believe that is Oberst Oswald Eccher v. Echo Edler v. Marienberg, Commander of Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 84. Regards Glenn

This is Dr. Pellnitz's entry in the Kaiser Wilhelms Akademie Stammliste. He entered that establishment in the Easter intake of 1901. Glenn

I am wondering if wartime awards of the RKM were published in the Militär-Wochenblatt? Something to check out. Glenn

Rick, Adam Ueberlacker, born 29 March 1887 at Dörrenberg, Brückenau. Long time member of 5./I.R. 5. Prewar regular who entered the Bavarian Army on 22 August 1908. I’ll send you the extract and let you decipher the Klingon handwriting. Glenn

For what it is worth, I am very much in agreement with Rick on the subject of people wanting information/identification of their photographs/medal bars etc yet plaster them with blobs and all sorts of copy protection. This is two way traffic; if I am to spend my time researching for the benefit of others, I expect the courtesy of a decent image in return. Fair enough in the case above when the image was from an external source and not the poster's property. Regards Glenn
