sorry for double-posting

Hi Would anyone have the regimental history of FAR 6 (silesian)? Please make yourself known .... looking for more details on a FAR6 officer (ret. 1871) Thank a lot regards David

Hi Daniel Much appreciated. Tomorrow I will visit the Royal Library at The Hague in order to get some of the details I need. They do have the Priesdorf and a complete set of Prussian Statecalenders since 1850 orso, but not the Kleist volumes you mentioned. regards David

Hi Daniel Thanks for that! Can't say I am familiar with Kleist, would you have the full bibliography on that? Regards David

Hi I am trying to find out the career details of Carl Eduard Becker, who according to my records was a prussian GM by 18.11.1886 however, does not seem to be in the SF series by Priesdorf. Maybe this has something to do with him being from Hessen-Darmstadt originally? However some other former HD Generals are in SF so I am really puzzled about that. Could someone help me with career and ODM? That would be a great addition to my CHWO entry on him Thanks in advance regards David

Hi I cannot place picturs myself, but I am trying to determine the possible date of a picture I have (of a kurhessian GM who also got the CHWO2a, the order I am researching at the moment). As one of the GC present on the photo is rather vague, I hope you can provide me with a clear and high dpi picture of: a Grand Cross of the Sachson Albrecht Orden a Grand Cross of the Sachon-Ernestine House Order Thanks a lot in advance regards David

Hi One of the recipients of the CHWO4 also received the PKO1XaR and at the same time, his entry in the DOA also states a PKO3XaR. My question: How can one wear several grades of 1 order at the same time. Is it specific for this PKO or does it have anything to do with the XaR? Hope you can tell me more regards David

Hi Eric, please don't thake this the wrong way, bu I didnot know that Falcons were fullgrown doves. On the other hand, the smaller they get the more peacefull they are. Really amazing

Hi I am wondering if Dr. med. NN Weiss around 1855 in the Garde-Uhlanen-Regiment 1 as Regimentsarzt would be in the book on the Wilhelms-Akademie by any chance Thanks in advance David

Hi What is the last order on this bar??

Hi to you both and thanks, but I think this is his brother my L. was born Zwesten 1823. regards David

Hi Would Wilhelm Ernst Friedrich Carl von LANGENSCHWARZ be in the DOA?If so, what ODM did he get? Thanks for checking

Well dont be shy, tell us all about it

Anyone?

Hi Would anyone be able to tell me if Alfred Bonaventura von Rauch (Priesdorfs SF Bd 8 S. 16), a General der Cavallerie could have been the same as Alfred von Rauch, around 1864 Major ausser Dienst, from the Garde du Corps? Maybe a bit curious, but in my experience there are more officers who re-entered militairy service during the 1866 or 1870 wars and made a career. Thanks in advance regards David

Hi Some orders describe their Commanders Cross first Class as 2a whilst others, such as the PROA give it as 2mSt would not that be virtually the same and therefore can't I just write PROA2a? Or would that be wrong. Would like to hear your opinion regards David

Hi Would someone have the stammliste of this regiment? I would be really interested in the mentioning of one of its former officers. Thanks so much regards David

Hi I wonder if anyone would have the Stammliste of the Regiment (published 1886) mentioned above. I would be interested in the entry on a couple of former officers Thanks so much regards David

HI Stijn That would be great. I have a longer weekend than usual, so I would have some more time for the L?beck transcriptions. David

Aha ...NO

? When what?

Hi Would anyone be able to check if either Leopold Ernst Philipp Friedrich von Buch (Bd. 10 S. 81) or Maximilian von Buch (Bd. 9 S. 301) from Priesdorff would have been previously in Sachsen-Meininger militairy service? If so, I would be really interested in the biography of the officer regards David

Hi Rick Thanks, the data on Gerlach and Bergh is most certainly consistent with some data I already had. before, I thought you mentioned that you made copies of the original? Would that have been Xerox-copies or something like that and if so, would it be possible for you to scan the copies in order to show a complete list of awards? regards David

Hi Rick Would the STB give full dates or just years?

Rick My list, I hope it is SHORT enough for you GSF Ludwig Friedrich Leopold von GERLACH Friedrich Graf von PERPONCHER-SEDLNITZKY August Freiherr VON D?RNBERG Alfred Freiherr VON BERGH Hieronymus Freiherr ZIEMIECKI VON ZIEMICIN Gebhardt Karl Ludolf VON ALVENSLEBEN GSsVM Ludwig Baur (someone told me the Medals would not be in the STB, just in the Weimaer Zeitung) hope to hear from you again regards David
