Gentlemen, I am looking for a picture of GdI Rudolf Maximilian Julius von Bergmann, the father of GdI Walter Friedrich Adolf von Bergmann. Julius was a veteran of the Franco-German War and governor of Straßburg. Can anyone help? Thanks!

Good evening, Dave. Do you happen to have a picture of him in the uniform of the Infanterie-Regiment 90 of the Wehrmacht? Thanks! 18.12.1920: General der Infanterie (RDA: 1 October 1920)

Thanks so much, Glenn! I had sent you a private message. Many Greetings Andreas PS: Am I seeing that right, Kronenorden 2nd Class with swords and star? Be so kind and take a look: I have him as commander of the Deutsch Ordens-Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 152 (at the beginning of WWI) not the Infanterie-Regiment von Alvensleben (6. Brandenburgisches) Nr. 52 ... am I mistaken?

Does anyone have anything on GM Konrad Ferdinand Karl Geisler (1861–1943)? Promotions, decorations, picture? Thank you!

Gentlemen, it is said, Dr. jur. Edgar Julius Jung (1894--1934) served with the 3. Chevaulegers-Regiment „Herzog Karl Theodor“ of the Bavarian Army. He was at last Leutnant or Leutnant d. R.? Does anyone know, if he received any decorations? EK II or even I? Bavarian awards? Thanks!

No, sorry Stogieman, all I have is the picture.

Thank you, Dave!

Dear Glenn, as you wrote, August Ludwig Oskar Johannes von Hahn received the RAO with OL and Swords (1915) and the Crown (1918) in WWI. Do you happen to know, what else? Maybe EK II and I? Thank you Andreas

Thank you, Glenn!

The father of Helene Hahn (mother of Johannes von Hahn) Malotki von Trzebiatowski was as Oberstleutnant/Oberst commander of the 6. Pommersches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 49 in Stargard. Does anyone have a first name? Gustav August Wilhelm Malotki von Trzebiatowski? Thanks!

August Ludwig Oskar Johannes Hahn, since 23 October 1907 von Hahn ... served as Oberstleutnant in the staff of the Infantry Regiment Hamburg (2nd Hanseatic) No. 76.

Thank you, Glenn ... I am often amazed about your vast knowledge of military history!

Thank you very much, Gentlemen! I do have one more question, if I may. I read, he was promoted to Leutnant on 18 August 1911, but receiving a Patent from 20 August 1909 (according to Rangliste). Does this imply, he came from the Königlich Sächsisches Kadetten-Korps (Cadet Corps)?
