He is not an Admiral. That is Generalmajor Paul v. Hoepfner, the Inspekteur of Marine-Infanterie between 1896 and 1902. Regards Glenn

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

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

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

Austria-Hungary Unidentified Oberstleutnant
Glenn J replied to Ian's topic in Austro-Hungarian Empire
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 -
Kriegsmarine Unidentified WW2 Kriegsmarine Signatures

Fred, Karlgeorg Schuster Regards Glenn -
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

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
