If you mean the tassel, it shows to what battailon and company he belonged. He was part of the 1st company, most likely. GreyC

Hi, interesting document. I wonder if Hptm. Schön was active in a different (hanseatic) regiment before coming to the RIR25. He got the award during a time in which the regiment had been stationed in Metz for quite some time (from July 1915 onwards to 1917) with no real chance to do something worth being awarded the Hanseatenkreuz for. Happy Easter, GreyC

Well done! GreyC

Hi, the Ehrenrangliste 1914-18 of 1926 lists a Körner as Major a.D. with the FAR 52 with no further info which means that he spent his whole time with this regiment and was given leave after the war. No regimental history seems to be known. GreyC

Hi, very convincing! Thank´s! GreyC

Hi, I am not into medals at all, but Baden had ribbons in these colours, e.g the Badische Kriegsverdienskreuz (though this isn´t it). But maybe some other medal from that state? GreyC

Hi, if you google "Gau Ehrenzeichen Thüringen" you´ll find loads of pics to compare. GreyC

I second hucks216 opinion und would like to add that his name was not Kuhn but Kühn. GreyC

Good thing you did. I thought of WW1 but now it´s clear its a tunic of 1935 or later. Here is a good summary of AR 64 ´s organisation/history http://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/Gliederungen/ArtReg/Gliederung.htm GreyC

Hi, not my field of expertise, try: http://h2385226.stratoserver.net/wbb4/index.php/BoardList/ GreyC

Hi, chances are they were mentioned in the regimental history which is downloadable here: http://digital.wlb-stuttgart.de/sammlungen/sammlungsliste/werksansicht/?no_cache=1&tx_dlf[id]=3970 GreyC

Hi, it would be easier if you´d shown the whole jacket, as from the label it is not clear if he belonged to Fuß-Artillerie or Feld-Artillerie. As there seemingly was no Fuß-Artillerie Regiment of that number he must have served with the Saxon FAR 64. There is a regimental history of this unit, but as he was no officer chances are slim he is mentioned in it. Wagner, Erich: "Das 5. Kgl. Sächs. Feldartillerie-Regiment Nr. 64". Dresden 1922, 142 Seiten (Band 4 des sächs. Anteils der Erinnerungsblätter). Probably the reason why he was called Kühn II is that Kühn I, given name Arno of same regiment, served in the 2nd Batterie. He was killed in action 1916. Kühn II seems to have survived the war unharmed. GreyC

Hi Hopsi, please provide all the information available at the beginning of a request, it makes things a lot easier for those prepared to help. Please scan photos front and back, if there are any information on the reverse in the future. Photo with that address was taken between 1864-67. Best, GreyC

I´d have an idea if you could supply a Hausnummer. GreyC

Hi, are there addresses on the CDVs and if so which? GreyC

Hi, the Duke of Edinburgh is a grandson of George I, King of Greece and nephew of Konstantin, King of Greece, George I successor. GreyC

Thank you for the confirmation Bayern! GreyC

Hello, here´s a closer view: GreyC

Thank you very much gentlemen! Based on your information someone familiar with the uniforms of the Italian army just told me 1st Italian Engineers Regiment. GreyC

Hello, can anybody tell me to what country this soldier/this uniform belongs? Somebody suggested Switzerland. Thank you! GreyC

Ah, interesting thought. Because Navy was national... I understand. GreyC

Hi, nice bar. But in my humble opinion not a Bavarian, as the EK II is first. Were he Bavarian, the Bavarian decoration were first on the bar. GreyC

Hi, it says Konzentrationslager Oranienburg (Concentrationcamp Oranienburg). It was near Berlin. If these are genuine, I can´t say. GreyC

...ah, so he signed Boedicker. Thank´s Glenn. GreyC

...and with it comes the solution, I think. That´s why it is helpful to post all information available with the first post. It would have saved me time and effort. This is not the Prussian Husaren-Leibregiment from Danzig, it´s the Hessian Husaren-Leibregiment from Hofgeismar. Hessen was an independant state and did not have anything to do military-wise with Prussia until after the war of 1866 in which the Hessians were on the loosing end. After 1866 the 1st Hessian Husaren Leibregiment became the 1. Hessisches Husaren-Regiment Nr. 13 of the Prussian Army. So you will have to find a Hessian Rank List of 1859 or the respective Kurfürstlich Hessisches Hof- und Staatshandbuch. GreyC
