Hi I am interested to see how the german officers of the Sch?tztruppen were listed. For example, in Kamerun there were only 12 Kompagnien. How was this situation by the start of the war? Were there seperate lists of all german Kamerun-Sch?tztruppen available? Thanks David

Hi I am looking for portraits of the following officers: Generalmajor Gundelach, Kommandant von D?namunde Oberst Dietrich Gundell, Kommandeur der 187. Infanterie-Brigade most preferably with medals both during WWI thanks a lot David M

Hi Jens Thanks!That's right, tahts the guy. I am looking for his full careerdates though, so the wikipedia entry we both found was not exactly what I was looking for, hence the question on this forum

Hi I am currently transcribing the diary of Oberst Michael Schuch and I am looking for the name of the commanding officer of the sachson regiment 107 in the Franco-Prussian War 1870-71. And possible further careerdata. Thanks a lot David

Hi I am looking for the careerdata and pictures of the bavarian general Ludwig Freiherr von der Thann-Rathsamshausen. Hope you can hel me out Thanks David

That is a wonderfull bar and very traceable, if I am not mistaking?

I dont know if these kind of guys are in the book on the Wilhelms-Akademie aswell, which list bio's of militairy doctors. By the way, does the back of the bar have a marine backing?

Well at the other hand, it is just as "easy" as a normall research, as more and more rolls are available: you should first check for possible candidates in the HHOX and L?beck and then look for the ones left on other published rolls. Everytime you find one, you know it cannot be your guy because he only got a HHOX and a L?H. It is a bit more timeconsuming, but actually it is just working the other way around

We will come up with a small statistic insight in how far we are, so you can see our progress in numbers. Maybe before I go on holiday to America September 17-21, but otherwise one of us will post it after that.

So his actuall rank was GdP and not GdI?

Hi I am looking for a scan of page 55 of the book: Rangliste von Beamten der Kaiserlich Deutschen marine f?r 1914, page 55. Heinrich M?ldner should be in there hope someone can help me out Thanks a lot David

Does anybody know if the FA crosses rolls are available, or should I contact the Archives in Oldenburg in order to find out?

Should it be genuine, you maybe want to know the L?beck hanseatic rolls are currently worked on. I don't know about the availability by heart, but there is a thread called "Rolls" which could tell you that, should you be interested in the possibility of identification.

Hi As Stijn mentioned earlier, we are currently working on the L?beck rolls. For the pubication, we are also looking for any kind of pictures/documents on L?beck 1 medalbars 2 documents 3 pictures with medalbars including L?beck in wear 4 ribbonbars (in wear or not) 5 mini's (on a chain) So pleeeeease post your L?beck Stijn, If you have any additions to the list, feel free to add them

I foun this one on the net today especially for someone we all appreciate

Hi, as you may know, I am one of the people in the L?beck-projects. While transcribing the rolls I frequently run into naval personnel (no suprise there) I am looking for a nice list of lower naval ranks, so I know what I read. all the varieties of ranks the equivalent of Oberheizer and Torpedo-Maschinen-Maat are very welcome Thanks a lot David

As most of the men you listed are noble, you can track them down in the Gotha and see if they were alive at all during the DLV periode. David

Congratulations on this great job! Any idea when they will be available?

Hi Stijn As I spot a Fliegerabzeichen when I am correct, you might try his photo at www.theaerodrome.com Furthermore, should he have been a Seeflieger/Marineflieger, I know a guy who might be able to help you with his careerdata at least for the WWI forum. Furthermore, should he made a career during WWII subsequently ( dont think so, as he does not seem to have any WWII medals) you might get the rest of his career at the WAST in Berlin Hope you find this info of some use. regards, good luck and keep us posted here!! David
