      • Deutschritter About Oberst / General , Alfred Arent I found the following :  The 21st September 1899 by decree of President Julio Argentino Roca then Argentine President was decided to contract the " retired Cavalry Colonel of the German Army "  to organize the Escuela Superior de Guerra ( General Staff School ) . the rank of Argentinian Army General was not mentioned in the decree, of interest is to mention that the decree asigned 600 gold Argentinian pesos to Colonel Arent for expenses for him and his fellow officers contracted

        Deutschritter , I understand that the 600 gold pesos were for the voyage and other costs . not only of Colonel Arent but also of Kornatzki and  Roldan von Strunk. otherwise an yearly or monthly payment must have been stated . a Gold peso of 1899 was equal to 2, 28 Pesos Moneda Nacional which were equivalent to a US dollar . then Colonel Arent received 600 Us dollars , roughly 2 400 Reichsmarks . a good amount

        Deutschritter ,please excuse me, Roldan von Strunk or Roland was not part of Colonel s Arent mission . by via of a lapsus of mine i included his name. Strunk was an ex officer in the AH Cavalry during WW1 of Prussian birth and after the War in the Freikorps and  Black Reichswehr , friend of Hitler he served as counselor to the Nationalists during the Spanish Civil War . The member of the Arent mission was Bertrand Schunck. Your data about the German Officers that served in the Argentinian Army is better than the available in the Archives of the Argentinian Army Historical Service .  Herzliche Bayerische Grusse !
