I have compiled a list of just over 100 veterinary officials/officers who held the rank of Korps-Roßarzt/Korpsstabsveterinär/Generaloberveterinär in the period from 1873 to 1919 and am still looking for the first names of four of the wartime promotions. Much appreciated if anyone can help: Korpsstabsveterinär a.D. Körner 24.12.14 Korpsstabsveterinär d.L. Lübke 24.4.15 Korpsstabsveterinär a.K. v. Müller 18.12.15 Generaloberveterinär d.L. Richter 26.8.17 Thanks Regards Glenn

Chris, The order of battle for 107. Infanterie-Division in "Deutschlands Schirm und Wehr im alten und im neuen Heer" still shows R.I.R. 227 as still being under command on 21 March 1918. According to Hartwig Busche - in "Formationsgeschichte der deutschen Infanterie", the regiment was disbanded on 10 Sep 1918. Regards Glenn

John, Herr Plessing's promotion to Oberleutnant der Reserve was gazetted in Edition 45 of the Militär-Wochenblatt in February 1915. Regards Glenn

John Leutnant Plessing was promoted to Oberleutnant d.R. on 12.2.15 whilst serving on the staff of 35. Infanterie-Brigade. Regards Glenn

Rittmeister der Reserve Ernst Frhr. v. Woellwarth-Lauterburg: Leutnant d.R: 18.10.04 D Oberleutnant d.R.: 20.11.13 Rittmeister d.R: 27.5.15 Regards Glenn

R.I.R. Nr. 202 was formed in Berlin in October 1914 from the replacement battalions of Garde-Grenadier-Regiment Nr. 1 (I. Bat.), Garde-Grenadier-Regiment Nr. 2 (II. Bat.) and Garde-Grenadier-Regiment Nr. 4 (III. Bat.) Regards Glenn

I am assuming this is your Herr Abel: commissioned as a Leutnant der Reserve in Kavallerie-Regiment Nr. 85 on 20.7.16. Regards Glenn

Heiko, According to Generaloberst v. Einem's "Ein Armeeführer erlebt den Weltkrieg", Generalmajor v. Versen was still "Führer" of 56. Infanterie-Division on 2 November 1915. Regards Glenn

Chip, I sent you a PM. Regards Glenn

Rick, just did a quick check in volume 9 of "Der Weltkrieg 1914-1918". In October 1915, Generalmajor v. Versen was standing in for the then sick Generalleutnant Leo Sontag, commander of 56. Division in the Champagne. Regards Glenn

Trouble is; there were no late 1914 reserve commissions to any Freiherren v. Lüttwitz in the cavalry. There were actually two Rittmeister der Reserve Frhr. v. Lüttwitz in Grenadier-zu-Pferd-Regiment Freiherr von Derfflinger (Neumärkisches) Nr.3 in 1914 : The brothers Rochus and Ernst. Although the shoulder board is not clear, I think it must be one of these two. Regards Glenn

Chris, check out Hartwig Busche's "Formationsgeschichte der Deutschen Infanterie im Ersten Weltkrieg (1914 bis 1918" published by Verlag für Preußische Historiographie, Owschlag, 1998. This also details the 600 series. Regards Glenn

Chris, as there was no regular officer of the name Meyns in the Prussian Army, I believe young "Meyns" is Leutnant Carl Mayntz of RJB 5. Regards Glenn

Here is Major v. Brandt. Stabsarzt d.R. Dr. Wilhelm Klimm (Landwehrbezirk Hirschberg) was the battalion Medical Officer. Regards Glenn

Chris, I assume these guys are from Reserve-Jäger-Bataillon Nr. 5. Major Andreas v. Brandt was commanding in the earlier photo. Leutnant d.R. Albrecht was killed as an Oberleutnant d.R. in 1918. Hauptmann Friedrich Viktor Fürst von Hohenzollern was the temporary commander from 19 to 29 May 1917 and again from 11 to 26 June 1917. Regards Glenn

According to Kraus (Die Feldgraue Uniformierung des deutschen Heeres 1907-1918, volume 1 page 463, the 1st and 2nd battalions of R.I-R. 109 wore litzen as per the regular regiment. Regards Glenn

Unfortunately the Offizier-Stammliste of LGR. 109 (published in 1925) does not list reserve officers. It does detail Hans Ulrich von Kotze but does not show any affiliation to R.I.R. 109 for this officer. Regards Glenn

Iver, this may be of some help: AH Land Forces Regards Glenn

Terry to follow up on Andy's comments, here is a bio of Streck. Regards Glenn

westfale, Oberstleutnant Hugo Wünsche was already commanding R.I.R. Nr. 91 at mobilsation and was wounded on 17 September 1914. He died at Hedemünden on 28 July 1915. Paul Schallehn retired as a Generalmajor in 1919. Regards Glenn

westfale, here is Paul Schallehn from 1912 Regards Glenn

Barry, it is General der Cavallerie Ludwig Freiherr v. Gablenz. See bio here: Gablenz Regards Glenn

Paul, An Unterarzt der Reserve Kirchheimer (Landwehr Bezirk Göttingen) of the 1. Ersatz-Bataillon of Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 91 was commisioned as an Assistenzarzt der Reserve on 12 February 1916. Regards Glenn

An Oberstleutnant (E) Böhmer with a Patent of 1.2.33 (E) appears in the 12 October 1937 Stellenbesetzung in the Heeres-Waffenamt. He does not appear in the January 1939 edition, so possibly this was his last appointment. Regards Glenn
