Very understandable and clearifying! thanks Jens

Hi I have several Platzmajore in my records. These guys seem to be not the same as higher ranking officers (like Colonels, Generals) who were Commandant of a certain town. Is a Platzmajor some sort of substitute or does he have other duties? regards David

Ah I see, thank for clearifying that! David

Hi I often find the term charackterisiert in officers careers. What does it mean? regards David

So you would not have dates for: Rudolf Maria Bernhard Graf von Stillried Rattonitz (1804-1882) AAB1 Gustav von der Schulenburg-Priemern (1814-1890) AAB1 Friedrich Graf von Perponcher-Sedlnitzky (1821-1909) AAB1 Hieronymus Johann Anton Joseph Niecznia Freiherr Ziemiecki von Ziemicin (1817-1906) AAB2 Maximilian Graf O'Donnel von Tyrconnel (1812-1895) AAB2b Gebhardt Karl Ludolph von Alvensleben (1798-1867) AAB2a (probably in 1854/53) Botho von H?lsen (1815-1886) AAB2a NN Graf von Schaffgotsch (-vor 1875) k. pr. Kammerherr AAB2a Carl Friedrich Ludwig von K?chler (1831-1922) AAB2a Otto Freiherr von Zedlitz-Neukirch (-mid 1860's) AAB2a Carl Friedrich Graf von der Goltz (1815-1901) AAB1 (probably 1873/74) NN Weiss k.pr. Milit?rarzt AAB3a (first name appreciated) Erich Johann Ferdinand August Ludwig Carl Freiherr von Witzleben (1827-1866) AAB3a Dimitri von Vietinghoff (1836-1914) AAB3a Otto Leopold Gustav (von) Scherbening AAB2bX (probably around 1871) Carl Otto Unico Ernst Freiherr von Malortie (1804-1887) AAB1 Just for 1 or 2 individuals would already be a great help! regards David

Hi Would there be anyone with literature on the Regiments Feld-Artillerie 11 Husaren-Regiment 13 Husaren-Regiment 14 I am especially interested in the pre-1866 era and the possibility of officers-careers of these years. regards David

Hi Werner from when to when is this Anhalt list? I would be very interested in some recipients in the 2nd half of the 19th century. Do you have such kind of data for all classes? regards David

Hi I am looking for someon with possible access to a bavarian Staatshandbuch from before and latest 1871. If you could PM me that would be great regards David

Hi I am looking for some data on some men from Frankfurt/Main and I was wondering if anyone has the 1866 Staatshandbuch and could check if there are is any mentioning of foreign ODM per person in there. Thanks David

Hi Rick Do you also have the 1918+ recipients of higher grade of the HHO? I am still looking for a HHO2b award postwar and before 1932. regards David

Thanks Rick I had a similar idea, but did not know if it was loigcal David

Hi! I have a question about Consuls. I have two kurhessian Consuls in austria, one in Vienna and one in Triest. They are both austrian nationals (confirmed) but in they received their ODM in the service of the Kurf?rst. Should I treat them as foreign recipients (for their nationality) or as domestic ones (because they were kurhessian Consuls receiving a kurhessian decoration)? Hope you can advise me regards David

Hi For my research, I am interested in finding out if there are any kind of detailed careerdescriptions of individual officers in the regimental histories of the following k.k. Regiments Cavalerie Husaren-Regiment Nr 2 "Nicolaus Grossf?rst von Russland" Husaren-Regiment Nr 3 "Ludwig Graf Foillot de Crenneville, Feldmarschallieutenant" Husaren-Regiment Nr 6 Husaren-Regiment Nr 8 "Churf?rst von Hessen" Husaren-Regiment Nr 9 "Franz F?rst Liechtenstein" Chevaux-Leger-Regiment Nr 5 "Carl F?rst von Liechtenstein" C?rassier-Regiment Nr 1 "Franz Joseph" C?rassier-Regiment Nr 6 "Prinz Alexander von Hessen und bei Rhein, Feldmarschallieutenant" C?rassier-Regiment Nr 7 "Herzog Wilhelm von Braunschweig" Uhlanen-Regiment Nr 3 "Erzherzog Carl" Dragoner-Regiment Nr 6 Artillerie Artillerie-Regiment Nr 4 K?sten-Artillerie-Regiments if someone could tell me that (for some of the Regts) that would be great! regards David

Would it appear in Hessenthal & Schreiber?

Obviously, the Joseph Lauterborn I was looking for was later aggregirt to the 25th Infanterie-Regiment. Is there a regimental history/Stammliste for this regiment? regard David

Well the picture our Haynau uses as his avatar is the same as the austrian Haynau listed in the OEH list. If he is really related though I do not know....The FML only had a daughter as I recall. The Haynau and Hessenstein-brothers listed are all natural sons of Wilhelm I

Hi Would anyone have the or a Stammliste of the K.Pr. 18. Inf-Reg. (3. westf.)? I am looking for the careerinfo on Joseph Lauterborn, who was in westfalian and later kurhessian service before he went ove to Prussia in 1816. regards David

Seems most likely, where could I find more informations about it? regards David

Hi I cam along this decoration in the book by Verlohren on the Sachson Army and I wondered what it looked like and what it is for/ regards David

Just 1 question. Why is the HK in the middle (shoudl it not be at the end)

Hi Whats that first portrait piece? Looks great!! David

Hi KIR would you know what kind of records there are on sachson militairy specifically generals from around the 1850's. Do they have the personal records (Laufbahndaten) available? Do they also have pictures of Generals in the Staatsarchive in Sachsen? Maybe you research something in the Sachson archives yourself? Hope you can advise me regards David

Hi Wild Card I see you even have the one established by my favourite Kurf?rst (Wilhelm II.) magnificent pieces. Are the ribbons original as well? Although the recipientslist for the 1821-1832 version of the Cross was not published, I can get you the list for the others. You can find the 1840 one here: Kurhessian Staatshandbuch 1840

Althoug not a big fan of the nazi-era ODM, I must say the simplicity and beauty of the DRK astonish me!

Hi Ulsterman Thanks for sharing these beauties! As I recall correctly, at least in 1814 the Garde-Husaren-Escadron stayed at home. I don't know about 1815 though. I also love the Kn?tel-pictures, especially those of the Hanseatic Legion (both voluntary Husars and the Bremen J?ger) regards David
