    1. Ian, an earlier portrait of Johann Frhr. v. Odelga in 1915. Regards Glenn
    2. Rick, indeed it was. Now if only we could find something for the Prussians! Regards Glenn
    3. Rick, meet Lothar Bolstetter. This before his award the XXV Years Service Cross. Regards Glenn
    4. Karl Pogge, born 17 April 1873 at Schweckwitz in Pomerania. Served with the RFJK from 10 Nov 1896 to 19 Aug 1909. Forstmeister in Neubrück a.d. Spree. Four Feldjäger deployed to China: Von dem Borne Pogge Wallmann Graf v. Wintzingerode. Regards Glenn
    5. He is not an Admiral. That is Generalmajor Paul v. Hoepfner, the Inspekteur of Marine-Infanterie between 1896 and 1902. Regards Glenn
    6. Prinz Arnulf von Bayern in the uniform of the Infanterie-Leib-Regiment. Regards Glenn
    7. Rick, the nearest match I can find is the later Generalmajor z.D. Curd v. Plato. A former Hannoverian Premier-Lieutenant. His Saxon Merit and Albrecht orders, however were both commander's grades. He is still listed in the 1904/05 Ordens-Almanach with additionally a Japanese Sacred Treasure Commanders and a Centenary. Regards Glenn
    8. Rick, your wish is my command Of course, in some cases, senior Prussian medical officers could rank "one up": Generalarzt - Generalmajor Obergeneralarzt - Generalleutnant Generalstabsarzt der Armee - General der Infanterie Regards Glenn
    9. Rick, If we assume this a 1917 or later photo then OSA 1. Kl. Lode is not our man as this guy is still an OSA 2. Kl. I am wondering if Berthold Reder might be the subject. He was not promoted to OSA 1. Kl. until May 1917. Regards Glenn
    10. These from the 1909 Marine-Rangliste, (the last peacetime edition he appeared in) and the 1913 Braunschweig court and State Handbook. Regards Glenn
    11. He was still alive in 1928 as an OSV a.D. in Remlingen, Unterfranken. Regards Glenn
    12. My best guess would be Korvetten-Kapitän der Matrosen-Artillerie d.R. a.D. Wilhelm v. Veltheim. He already had everything except the Henry the Lion by 1909. A Braunschweig Kammerherr, he was awarde the BrH3b in 1912. That must be an LD1 in 2nd place on the bar. Regards Glenn
    13. This from the Hoch- und Deutschmeister regimental history; not that you would think it was the same guy from this portrait painting! Hugo Nedjela was the commander of the Machine Gun Detachment of III./4 in the early part of the war when he won his ÖEK3 and ÖM3K. Regards Glenn
    14. The then Hauptmann Carl Harrach's entry in "Bayern's Helden- & Ehrenbuch" published in 1872. This book listed all awards to the Bavarian Army during the Franco-German War of 1870/71. Regards Glenn
    15. Rick, Bruno v. Stuckrad's entry in the Offizier-Stammliste of Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 43. Regards Glenn
    16. Elwyn, I think you are confusing the Oberst-Zerimonienmeister Graf Moy who is to the King's left with his staff of office. General WvW is behind Graf Moy's right shoulder wearing his sash from right shoulder to left hip. Regards Glenn
    17. Rick, The one LaPo list I have (1934) does not list decorations. Regards Glenn
    18. Rick, Christer, Indeed he was not. That is because he was k.k. Landwehr officer. He was commissioned into k.k. Schützenregiment Nr. 24 on 1 August 1916 (4177). He is not shown with any decorations in the 1918 Ranglisten der K.K. Landwehr. He apparently was a Luftwaffe transport officer with the rank of Hauptmann d.R. z.V in WW2. Regards Glenn
    19. David, I have the Offizier-Stammliste of JB 3 published in 1909 and he is not mentioned. Was he an officer in JB 3? Was he a Reserve Officer? Regards Glenn
    20. Well, I have been doing some considerable labour on pre-war awards. If we take 1895 for example, there are just 36 individuals in the Prussian Army with a combination of the EK2 and a Schaumburg- Lippe Merit Medal. That figure drops to just 9 by 1905. And none of these guys is our award holder. So as Thomas says, this guy was probably already long retired from military service. He may turn up yet. Glenn
    21. Andreas, from the rolls of the Oldenburg Honour Cross 2nd Class as quoted by Rick above. Regards Glenn
