    1. 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
    2. 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
    3. 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
    4. Charles, Most probably the Saxon Ernestine House Order 2nd Class with Swords he was awarded on 2 November 1915. Regards Glenn
    5. 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
    6. 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
    7. 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
    8. According to the 1912 Saxon Officers' Dress Regulations, the Saint Henry Medal took precedence over the Albrechts Order. Regards Glenn
    9. 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
    10. Charles, Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 92 did not wear a cuff title. Regards Glenn
    11. 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
    12. 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
    13. 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
    14. 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
    15. Paul, very interesting indeed. Reminds me of your visit to Sennelager about four years ago! Regards Glenn
    16. I believe that is Generalmajor Friedrich Wilhelm v. Woyna commander of 28. Infanterie-Brigade , plm 3 July 1871. Regards Glenn
    17. I am afraid that is as good as it gets. Sorry. Regards Glenn
    18. This from the Crew Book of Crew 1907. Regards Glenn
    19. 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
