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

Weimar time medal bars
Glenn J replied to Claudio's topic in Germany: Weimar Republic & Deutsche Freikorps
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 -
Weimar time medal bars
Glenn J replied to Claudio's topic in Germany: Weimar Republic & Deutsche Freikorps
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

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

Well, Herr General went for some 56 Euros! he was, in fact the then Generalmajor Arthur v. Bernewitz, General Officer commanding the 31.Kavallerie-Brigade in Straßburg. General v. Bernewitz (1842-1920), commanded the brigade, initially as an Oberst from 17 February 1894 to 20 July 1897. This from the 1896 Rangliste. A former Braunschweig Hussar Officer, he had already earned his Brunswick 25 year long service cross before the 1886 convention incorporating the Braunschweig contingent into the Prussian Army proper.
