Hi Wild Card. that is very interesting information. I would still hope to find out if the hanoverian Musikdirektor Philipp Tietz was decorated with the award (that would have been in 1854 or after) Thanks David

Thanks for these interesting data, I hope someone does have a hannoverian Staatshandbuch!! David

Hi I know there was a K&W decoration in Hannover (found that out at medalnet.net, thank you Andreas) I was wondering, although I do realize it s not exactly imperial German, if anyone of you would know where to find out more about its history (since when was it awarded) and escpecially the recipients of this decoration Thanks David

That's great and beautifull...I love these napoleonics David

Hi Djedj, Thanks for the hint!!

So this was given to like professors and artists? How many times was it awarded? David

Dear members, although not a regular interested in my own countries militairy history, I am posting this one for a friend. I think it is artillery due to the helmet. Could someone help me out with the exact unit and date? I am also linking this to the WAF-forum ,as I cannot post images there. Thanks a lot David Glenn J was so kind as to post the picture at the WAF-forum for me http://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/forums/sho...481#post1253481

So the NIemeyer was the ON-officer, do you also know who the WF bar belong to? Regards David

Yeah that would be interesting, but that also goes for the other two bars you posted, both with one of the most beautiful orders: the Orange-Nassau Order (Officer?) and the White Falcon Order! Who wear the decorated here? Would you have any idea? I can imagine the officer was awarded the ON because of the marriage of the King with Princess Emma W-P? Mostly I am not specifically interested in the history of my own country, but this is an exception I guess David

Ah I see, that's what the oak-leaves like surroundig represent! Not that familiar with these ones, I am afraid

So that's a beautiful example of two grades of the same order, one during the war and one prior to the war on one bar!! wooooow

Hi Glenn! amazing work as always....I always wondered what the effect of such an improved promotion dat would have been? Did it say that they would pay you salary as an Olt from that date or something really different? Hope you can fill me in, Thanks Kind regards David

Georg Wilhelm was in fact one of the two remaining grandchildren of the Emperor. The last one, if still alive would be Prince Wilhelm-Karl, a son of Prinz Oskar. Regards David

Althoug replying to myself, I think I have this guy worked out myself. The guy on Brians photo would be Wilhelm von Kummer. The DOA has him as a Rittmeister in the 2. Garde-Uhlanen, with the DCHM and a bunch of decorations, all with swords. Werner von Kummer is mentioned as a Adjudant to the 2. Garde Kavallerie Brigade in Postdam. A more likely spot to run into the CP. Sorry if I have troubled you.... Regards David

Gentlemen! On the site of Brian, www.vonetzel.com, I found a photo of a Lieutenant von Kummer. I would like to know more about the career of the guy on the photo, because I suspect (and rather hope) him to be: Kummer, Werner Eberhard Siegfried von geb. Berlin 24.2.1874 verst. Schliersee Obayern 8.4.1950 kgl. preu?. Major verh. I Bremen 2.3.1920 Carola Cremer geb. Bremen 10.5.1892 verst. M?nchen 20.3.1933 (gesch. Berlin 29.3.1930) T.d. Prokuristen Karl C. u.d. Maria Erlenwein verh. II Heidenau 11.17.1931 Oda von Seydlitz-Kurzbach geb. Krossen a/d Oder 3.5.1887 T.d. kgl. preu?. Oberstlts a.D. Fritz v. S.-K. u.d. Maria Creuziger In the short record on the exile of Crownprince Wilhelm on the dutch Isle of Wieringen, it is said that a Major von Kummer was a friend of the CP and regularly replaced Major Louis von M?ldner when the latter visite Germany to try and get the CP home. Would it be possible to find out more on the career of Leutnant von Kummer, who should have been in a Ost-Asien Regiment at the time of the photo? Thanks David

Hi Deruelle, these sure are beautiful, could you scan the text-pages regarding these badges as well? Love to know more abotu these!! Thanks David

Hi Andreas, what is that beautifulllll medal on the cover of the book, left-under? Thanks, David PS one other question on the medalbars you used to own, at the second one, the Waldeck order is on a Reuss ribbon (Gold with black-red-gold) whilst the Reuss Cross is at the Waldeck ribbon, right?

On that last photo I have 3 questions A) would this be an adjudant-badge worn by Fl?gel- and or Generaladjudante? B) Would anyone have a clear close-up photo of such a badge? C) who is the officer depicted? Thanks! David

Hi Glenn, Thanks for filling me in on that! Regards David

Good evening On my route from work back home, which takes about 2,5 hours I thoughtb of the Eisenbahn-Regiments....(no no that's just me) and I wondered what their actuall duty was. I mean were they on trains, did they protect railways? To what kind of Inspektion did they belong to... As I dont have any books to look it up in, I hope you can help me out Thanks a lot David

Hi Rick, Well that's something I didnot expect. Here is the reverse. Thanks for the info David M

On the the WAF forum there was a picture of a cross sometime ago, of which no one really know what it was, I think it is bavarian (blue-white ribbon) and its a firemen award (because of the flames) But I hope you can confirm this or help me out otherwise? Thanks David M.

Thank you all for your input, I hoped there were more details in the book.... Thanks David

Thanks that would be great!!!

Hi Micha, I have some of my officers who received a prussian REO during their career. I would have to look up all of them, but one who should be in the book is Johann Philipp Bauer, a kurhessian Generalleutnant. I would like to know what kind of info the book has on this officer! Thanks David
