Thomas, Abteilungen Regards Glenn

Christer, Zahlmeister Ernst Paetzke also originated from Fußartillerie-Regiment Nr. 17 where he was serving as an Unterzahlmeister in 1914. He was employed as an Obersteuerinspektor in Berlin in 1938. He was still listed as an Unterzahlmeister in November/December 1916. Regards Glenn

Chris, if I am not mistaken, the signature is Carl Lange, which makes the gentlemen the former Fußartillerie-Regiment Nr. 17 Leutnant (21.5.06 K). Hauptmann (18.12.15 V2v) and in fact this gentleman: http://www.ostdeutsche-biographie.de/langca85.htm He is listed in the 1938 edition of the Vereinigung der Offiziere und Beamten des früheren 2. Westpr. Fußartillerie-Reigments Nr. 17 which lists him as the editor of the Ostdeutsche Monatshefte. Regards Glenn

Very impressive. In similar vein it would be nice if the Foot Guards RQMSs could get the old 4 bar chevron surmounted by a star back as well! Regards Glenn

Up to 1891, all domestic and foreign awards were listed in the Saxon Army Lists by award. Unfortunately, then, the practice ceased. This is from 1891. Regards Glenn

Dave, The award to him is certainly shown in the 1913 edition of the Militär-Musiker-Adreßbuch für das Deutsche Reich. And Oberstleutnant Scholl is Franz Scholl. Regards Glenn

Andreas, Oberstleutnant Scholl, Regimental Commander Feldartillerie-Regiment Nr. 9 28 November 1905 - 21 May 1908. Regards Glenn

Chris, he was a reserve officer in Ulanen-Regiment König Wilhelm I (2. Württembergisches) Nr. 20 (Landwehrbezirk Ludwigsburg). He was with Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 180 certainly in 1916 when awarded the Knight's Cross of the Friedrichs-Orden with Swords. Regards Glenn

Dave, I think it probably is just a tailor's error. Hans Zeidler was the only officer in the Saxon Army in the rank of Hauptmann in 1911 when that tunic was manufactured. An Oberleutnant d.R. was on the books of the Karabinier-Regiment and an Oberarzt d.R. in Landwehrbezirk II Leipzig. Regards Glenn

Christophe, Diedrich Bischoff was a regular Saxon field artillery officer in FAR 77. Leutnant: 24.5.10 A Oberleutnant: 13.3.16 Hauptmann a,D.: Knight's Cross of St Henry: 1.2.15 Albrechts-Orden Knight's Cross 1.8.16 Regards Glenn

Dave, P.S. What makes you think he was an Hauptmann d.R.? Hans Zeidler was an active officer. Regards Glenn

Dave, from the Offizier-Stammliste of LGR 100. Regards Glenn

Chris, Probably not; the only Riecke listed in the Ehrenmal des preußischen Offizier-Korps was a Leutnant d.R. in Landwehr-Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 83 killed on 8 January 1915. Regards Glenn

Chris, according to H.R. v. Stein in a series of articles in the 1976 Zeitschrift für Heereskunde, the battalion was uplifted to regimental strength at mobilization as Pionier-Regiment Nr. 20 and was subordinated to 5. Armee. It was certainly with that army at the siege of Longwy in 1914. Regards Glenn

Sergeant und Hautboist Tiedermann of Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 15 was awarded the Allgemeine Ehrenzeichen on 18 January 1884. Regards Glenn

Mossop And here he is as a Major in III. Seebataillon. Regards Glenn

Hi Mossop, some further information on General Credner's earlier career. Not at all. Regards Glenn

Naxos does have the right Hermann Credner. Major Credner successively served in Infantry Regiments 32 and 28 after leaving the Marine Infantry before retiring in the rank of a charakterisierter Oberst with the uniform of Infantry Regiment 112 on 17 January 1912. He served in WW1 rising to the rank of charakterisierter Generalmajor and command of the 97. Reserve-Infanterie-Brigade in 1917. He had been the first commander of Reserve-Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 226. Regards Glenn

Douglas, first impression; a Sanitäts-Unteroffizier of a cavalry regiment. He is not a SNCO (Unteroffizier mit Portepee) as shown by the lack of an officers' sword knot (Portepee) and no large collar button. Regards Glenn
