jaba1914

Here one from me.

i have no information that Windisch got the Saxon Military Order of St. Heinrich in Gold. Same for the Saxon Cross of Honor with Swords. Also never awarded to him. Regards Alex

here the IC2 document. Regards Alex

His IC2 document is dated on the same day. This was awarded back on Sept. 1914. One of the first IC awards to the airship service. Regards Alex

I don't look in here very often but i saw some nice IC docs here and decide to show me favorite IC doc. The form is not exciting but the fact that it was awarded to an airship commander. It comes with many documents from this Hptm. I hope you enjoy it. regards Alex

There are Books for Special Parts of the Air Service like the jasta pilots. But Not all have Pictures. For the Most Part of the Air Service there is no Reference. Identifiyng persons from Picture is vary hard and in Most Cases impossible. Regstes Alex

If a book like this will exist it would have more than 10.000 pages. There is no book covered all pilots from WW1. Sorry. This is impossible. Are you looking for something special (Jasta pilots, etc) Regards

Yes it was a bavarian unit. Regards Alex

What have a Ulanen uniform and Jacobs common. Nothing. Jacob never was in a cavalry unit. The medal bar on the uniform is not corect and the PLM is not an original. There is everything wrong. It is possible that he wear a S&L PLM later but the medal bar is not Jacobs. Regards Alex

and here his Ehrenbecher

O'Conner had this group in his former collection.

Here a picture of Lt Josef Jacobs group taken at the Technikmuseum during my visit last year. Regards Alex

I think it is for the "Versuchs - und Übungsflugpark". There were two of them during the war Versuchs - und Übungsflugpark West Versuchs - und Übungsflugpark Ost Regards Alex

Does anyone know if there are regimental history of the Eisenbahn Regimenter? Regards Alex

What i can say is that Rittmeister Kurt Kloetzer not received the HOHX. I liik for more informations. Regards Alex

Hptm Albert von Malortie born 20.04.1887 at Dresden pre war service on Jäger Battailon Nr. 12, Promotion to Lt on 20.04.1906 Promotion to Olt on 20.08.1915 Service as observer on FFA 63 on the easter front. FFA 63 was part of the Beskiden-Korps lead by Hptm Pueschel. 1917 he was leader of FA A 284. Thats all i have. Some missing information Regards Alex

This guy was in HR 18. Are you sure that this entry is for the SEHO2X. Looks like this is not a flyer or observer. Regards Alex

I have my doubt about this guy. I also think he wear the FO1X. I have all awards of SEHO (all classes) and there is no award of SEHO2X to Graf von der Schulenburg on this date. I still think it is Albert von Malortie Regards Alex

I thought on fourth place it is the Wurttemberg FO1X but he doesn't got this award. I can't found the award of Saxe Ernestine knight cross 2nd class with X on 18 July 1917. Could you give us more infos. Regards Alex

I would say Hptm Albert von Malortie from FFA 63 and later leader of FA A 284 Born 20.04.1887 in Dresden. Picture taken before he got the HOH. Great picture. If you want to leave i take it. Maybe if you buy my group :-) Regards Alex

Here some informations to BORS Fl.Ob.Mt. Bors (LFA) Beobachterabzeichen am 11.06.1917 Fl.Ob.Mt.d.S.II Bors (LFA) Befördert zum Fl.Mst.d.S.II am 31.08.1917 Fl.Mst.d.S.II = Flugmeister der Seewehr II. Aufgebot Regards Alex

Sorry but the pilot and the air gunnar are not period badges. Regards Alex

One more but nothing special

It is not easy with this saxon awards. In most cases the VO was awarded to officers who already had the SHO but not allways. In several cases the VO was awarded to officer who never got the SHO as a second award. In a few cases the SHO was awarded first before the AO. I have a group of an Lt who got the SH3 first, followed by SA3bX and at least SV3bX. Because there is no order of precedence awarding the SHO. Regards Alex

I love this navy patches and i wish i had more of them. Heere a nice one. A patch for an Obermaschinistenmaat. I would like to see more of this. Regards Alex
