Hi Eric, Nice badge, congrats Can you tell us more info about this Freikorps please Christophe

Hi Chris, We keep our eyes open. Can you tell us where it come from (the Country) Christophe

His name : Rittmeister Kurt Kloetzer from Flieger Abteilung 11. He wore the uniform of his prewar unit : Ulanen Regiment Nr. 18. He received the cross 4th class of Crown Order of Prussia the 29 November 1913. That's all he had before the war. I have found nothing about the knight cross with swords of House of Hohenzollern. For the moment I have found 174 saxon officers who received the HHO3X but no Kloetzer on my list. Furthermore I have found no crown to add to his knight cross 1st class with X of Albert Order of Saxe. This is probably a postwar award, it's the only explanation. Thanks for your help Christophe

Hi everybody, Here is a close up of one medal bar, I would like to have your comments on the 4th ribbon please. After looking with great attention, I think this medal is the cross 4th class of Crown order of Prussia. Thanks Christophe

The last question, does someone have more informations about Hauptmann Malortie please ? Thanks a lot Christophe

The Friedrich knight cross 1st class with swords

The shoulderboards

Hi everybody, Yesterday I have received the photo in question. I've take several photos to see clearly shoulderboards etc. This is well a captain ( I have found two stars on shoulderboards). Sascha has definitively very good eyes, indeed the Wurttemberg Friedrich Order is well a first class with swords. So our man can't be von Schulenburg. So Alex has probably right too about Malortie. The good point is we have found two medals to add to Malortie : Brunswick and Austrian medals. Here is the photo. Christophe

Hi everybody, It's an old topic I know but it's interresting to make this one alive. Another perfect match : Oberstleutnant von Heygendorff

Hi Christer For Weber, Paul and Keil, the knight cross of St Henry of Saxe were awarded 2749 times. In the Roth's book, "Die Verleihungen des KS ST-Heinrichs-Ordens und seiner Medaillen im Ersten Weltkrieg 1914-1918, he has foudn 2729 names. in the book "Die Tragbaren Ehrenzeichen des Königreiches Sachsen 1806-1918", -Goldene Medaille für Lebensrettung : 6 - Silberne Medaille für Lebensrettung : 388 - Bronzene Medaille für Lebensrettung : 391 I don't know if we can find the name but we can try. Christophe

Hi Detlef, This officer is Bavarian Major Theodor von Bomhard Christophe

Hi Dave, Thanks for the additional informations, much appreciate. I spoke to Daniel and he told me that he should received the Ernestine and the Hamburg cross after the war like you think. Otto von Loßnitzer received during the war the following orders and medals : SH3, SV3bX, SA3bX, EH3bX (17/8/1915) HH and both EK. He served in the RIR Nr. 245 Christophe
