Now you can see the importance of the original sources in this kind of research. Should one only use the DOA as a source, the X is given. When we digg in the archives, we find something else. Works the other way around as well in my opinion. The data found in the archives should be represented as found. Context is everything

Wonderful. Where did you find it?

Hi! Im looking for the book on JB 11 by Moldenhauer. Would appreciate it if you could send me a DM. I am especially interested in the description of the actions of the bataillon during the campaigns of 1814 and 1815 and the OoB of the bataillon during these campaigns. Thanks so much David

Thank you. Thats most helpful.

I think the author in question is very well able to make a useless remark like that himself. It would also be very possible to show just one. Or an example of how the entries in the book are set up. There is a difference in showing 'just' a list or putting biographical entries in a book which shows details such as.DOB And Dod. In stead of just codemning a question askes by a fellow member of this forum, you might want to try I dont know....a friendlier approach? Especially since you have nothing to do with the subject at all.

To bad we cant see how the recipients are represented in the book

Fine. As long as you dont get your stars mixed up

You asked which was the star above the EK1 in this photo. Please compare the star above the EK1 in this photo with MWK1 and SEHO1.

Royals no less. They wish....or probably rather not. These are 'just' nobles...

In the photo it is the MWK1, so correctly identified by Roman. Apart from the crown, the letters encircling are distinct from the SEHO1

Is Eppstein wearing OFJ1 and OFJ2b?

True image of his father....wow.

Maybe his wife is more famous, being a Dr. of her own it seems? Anything on him via her?

I think Komthur gave you a solid lead earlier as to where to find the owner of this miniaturechain. Dont you?

Is there any way to find out what he was awarded the PRM for?

So whats a schnellen Abteilung?

PRM comes almost always first, right?

The ennobled ancestor of this particular Buch family was Gustav Buch, GM and GA of the Duke of Sachsen-meiningen-hildburghausen. He was awarded a grade of the churhessian order of Wilhelm. Have to look it up when I get home.

What is the St. Georgskreuz m.d. stern? Is it papal?

Maybe he was not ennobled because he served in the artillery? Are there any statistics on ennobled Generals related to the branch of their service?

Oh right thats the purple one with the green stripes, righ

Cant really make out if the X on 3 are swords or sables. So it could either be Reuss or Ottoman

Thanks for.your reply! Probably because the officer is missing the AdC tassels?

Anyone?

Eh1X I guess would be the ernestine house order Grand Cross with swords
