Chris, Dave, no Rothwange in the 1918 edition either. Dave's Rothwangel is by then an Hauptmann. Neither is he listed in the 1918 k.u. Honvéd List. Regards Glenn

Hi Jon, most definitely. Regards Glenn

Next part:

Here you go David, Regards Glenn

Very difficult to say with the size of the image. Baden troops were not wearing that type of epaulette during the period. Can you do a larger image? Regards Glenn

Charles, Oberst Moeller's promotions were as follows: Sekonde-Lieutenant: 18.9.86 Premier-Lieutenant: 14.9.93 Hauptmann: 14.9.00 Major: 1.10.12 Oberstleutnant: 18.6.17 Oberst: ? Awards as known: RAO4 HOH3X EK1 DA HSH2bX Regards Glenn

Charles, Most probably the Saxon Ernestine House Order 2nd Class with Swords he was awarded on 2 November 1915. Regards Glenn

And Reinhold Kersten

Charles, as promised, I pulled the FAR 111 regimental history at the Berlin State Library; There were only two commanders of the regiment: Major/Oberstleutnant August Richard Moeller (FAR 61) from formation until 28 November 1917 when he became ARKO 64 and Major Reinhold Kersten (FAR 3) I have attached a photograph of both although the quality is not great. August Moeller finished as an Oberst so in all likelihood, he is your man. Regards Glenn

Herr Fromm was awarded the KO4 on 18 January 1885. Regards Glenn

Hi Odulf, Not anymore: Rechnungsrath und Intendantur-Sekretär Julius Fromm of the Garde-Kavallerie-Division bwtween 1885 and 1888. He received an RAO4 on 19 September 1888. Regards Glenn

Charles, On 27 August 1939, to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the battle of Tannenberg, certain officers who had especially distinguished themselves in WW1 and who were the holders of high orders to include the OPLM and the Austro-Hungarian MMThO were awarded a brevet or the charakter of the next highest rank to the one they already held. Regards Glenn

According to the 1912 Saxon Officers' Dress Regulations, the Saint Henry Medal took precedence over the Albrechts Order. Regards Glenn

Charles, he is a captain in both photographs. Hauptmann von Frobel was promoted to that rank with a Patent of 1.10.12 K10k. The first photograph must have been taken only weeks (if that) before the oubreak of war as permission to wear the Swedish Sword Order Knight's Cross 1st Class was published in the 25 June 1914 edition of the Militär-Wochenblatt. Regards Glenn

Charles, Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 92 did not wear a cuff title. Regards Glenn

I am assuming this a meeting of officers from the 39. Infanterie-Brigade, 19. Reserve-Division of which RIR 78 (Joeden's command) and RIR 92 were under command. Regards Glenn

Christer, looks like a Lippe-Detmold House Order Honour Cross 2 with Oakleves and Swords and a Lippe-Detmold House Order Officer's Honour Cross with Swords. Regards Glenn

Charles, the Berlin State Library reports having a copy. I am visiting there at the beginning of next month and will check it for the regimental commanders and any photographs. Regards Glenn

I had forgotten this thread but just recently identified the Württemberg Colonel: Oberst Karl von Schill Inspekteur der 3. Ingenieur-Inspektion 1895-1896. Regards Glenn

Paul, very interesting indeed. Reminds me of your visit to Sennelager about four years ago! Regards Glenn

I believe that is Generalmajor Friedrich Wilhelm v. Woyna commander of 28. Infanterie-Brigade , plm 3 July 1871. Regards Glenn

I am afraid that is as good as it gets. Sorry. Regards Glenn

And this from the same publication.

This from the Crew Book of Crew 1907. Regards Glenn

Hi Charles and PM, General Pohlmann's career is to be found in the Möller-Witten history of the plm in WW1. Here is a photograph of the General. Regards Glenn
