Is that not his Chinese Golden Commemorative Medal on his bar? the CDIII1 was a neck order. Regards Glenn

He is a medical officer: Stabsarzt d.R. Dr. Schinke. Probably Dr. Alois Schinke of Landwehrbezirk Gleiwitz. Regards Glenn

Gunnar, he is not listed as being promoted to Rittmeister in the Saxon MWB. Alfred Barth is shown as being an Oberleutnant d.R. with the Fuhrpark-Kolonne of the 123. Division in 1916. Regards Glenn

Charakter in March 1918. No Johanniter in 1911 but maybe awarded one after his first retirement. Regards Glenn.

Charles, Most certainly. Krause, volume 2, page 594 states that it should be noted that the officers of wartime raised cavalry formations always wore the uniform of their peacetime parent unit unchanged. Regards Glenn

The intendance branch had red nebenfarbe and that button is Prussian. Regards Glenn

Charles, not to mention the brown leather pouch belt. A couple of thoughts: the colours appear to match JRzP Nr. 3 and the board is that of a Generalmajor. Perhaps it is the board of an Oberst retired with the uniform of JRzP Nr. 3 and then recalled to service in WW1 still as an Oberst and then later promoted to Generalmajor. Karl Frhr. v. Langermann und Erlencamp who retired in 1912 and commanded a reserve dragoon regiment in the war fits this scenario. Regards Glenn

Charles, apart from the Kaiser who was the "Chef" of Regiment Königs-Jäger zu Pferde Nr. 1, there were no instances of General officers being appointed à la suite to any of the Jäger zu Pferde Regiments. Regards Glenn

Jon, die Intendantur des III. Armee-Korps wurde am gleichen Ort das Hauptquartier ausgerichtet. Siehe Nr. 103. Glenn

Dave, Genau. Heute, Unter den Linden 1. Glenn

Hi RWS, I am perfectly happy that the upper neck and lower breast crosses both are Johanniters.; the problems are the lower neck and upper breast order. His Landwehr long service decoration is the small rectangular device above the upper breast order. Regards Glenn

Claudio, a beautiful bar. Here is his career. He died on 21 August 1925. Regards Glenn

Claudio, General der Infanterie Maximilian Sommer Regards Glenn

I came across this photograph of Leo v. Paczynski-Tenczin in the regimental history of Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 52. Regards Glenn

Dave, Eberhard v. Kamecke died on 28 July 1913. Regards Glenn

Dave, he had seniority as a Garnison-Verwaltungs-Inspektor from 2.4.99. He previously been a Kasernen-Inspektor (25.9.89) in Mainz. Regards Glenn

Chris, Rittmeister (Major a.D) Ernst Devaux, a career cavalry officer, who in 1914 was an Oberleutnant in Jäger-Regiment zu Pferde Nr. 4. He had served as the adjutant of the 35. Division. Regards Glenn

Hi Turtle, from the 1939 list. Regards Glenn

Alex, Generalmajor Bernhard Fürst v. Bülow, à la suite Husaren-Regiment König Wilhelm I (1. Rheinisches) Nr. 7. Regards Glenn

Chris, that is presumably Major Hans Mertens of Feldartillerie-Regiment Nr. 69; in 1914 an Hauptmann on the staff of the Eisebahn-Abteilung of the General Staff. Later commander of FAR 241 and later a Reichsheer Oberst. I have seen Abteilungs-Vorstände in such organisations as the War Ministry which I would translate as a Department Head. Regards Glenn

Dave, I will be there also from 1 to 8 September if you are planning a trip later in the year. Glenn

I have not managed to ID him yet but I don't think he is a General but rather, an Oberstabsarzt. Regards Glenn

Dave, Nachtrag 3 is downloadable from the document archive here on GMIC. I will be in Potsdam from 3 to 9 March. Regards Glenn

Dave, he appears in Nachtrag 3 to the Ehrenrangliste as Kdr. of Landsturm-Infanterie-Ersatz-Bataillon Northeim (X/25) Regards Glenn

Dave, I came across a further three FUA promoted to FHA on 12 December 1916 (MWB 1916, Spalte 2625 and 2626). Unfortunately none are shown with a given name or unit affiliation. Two of them are shown with a Landwehrbezirk subordination of Höchst and the other of Hanau. The Landesarchiv Baden-Württemberg does not list a medical officer of the name Max Weber. Regards Glenn
