Nicolas7507 started following Nice NK bar for my collection. and Major Lange - IR114
-
Hello, I am trying to identify the signature of this documen, which belonged to a Major Lange, serving with IR114 in May 1917. It could be the following guy, although there is no info about him serving in IR114: Major Lange 1914: Hauptmann in IR113 KO4, HEK3 1918: Major a.D. IR113 This was the closest match I could find. Was there any other Major Lange in IR114? All the best, Nicolas

A small supplement, the reason for his SH3: In den erbitterten Kämpfen der 87. Inf.-Div. in der Sommeschlacht zwischen Vermandovillers und Chaulnes war der Franzose am 6.9.1916 nach starker Artillerievorbereitung in einige Gräben des Schütz.-Rgt. 108 eingedrungen. Sofort sammelte Lt. Poetzsch einige beherzte Leute um sich und drang mit Handgranaten gegen den Feind vor. Eine Schulterwehr nach der anderen wurde gesäubert und nach kurzem, aber heftigem Kampfe streckte der Feind die Waffen. Die Beute betrug 130 unverwundete Gefangene, 3 Maschinengewehre, viele Gewehre und Ausrüstungsstücke.

I think I found a very likely candidate for this bar: Leutnant d.R. Max Pötzsch, who received his St.Henry on 30.10.1916. Furthermore I found a SA-Sturmführer Max Pötzsch in Reichenberg i.V., Sachsen and a Prokurist Max Pötzsch in Plauen, which is very close to Reichenberg i.V.. Possibly our guy. Photos are from an auction in 2016.

I found another possible candidate: 1928 Leutnant des Marineingenieurwesens Ernst Bennewitz EK1, DA, AEZ1 , AK AEZ1 as Torpedomaschinist, 19.09.1912 , III. Halbflotille If he got the Centenary, he would be very good candidate, as the back of the ribbon bar looks like Marine to me. I would greatly appreciate any further Info about him. Nicolas
