Hi, I need your help - I am asking for informations about the life and military career of Julius Ferdinand Wilhelm GREGOROVIUS, 1871 Oberst and Kommandant der 2.

So I'm searching for any informations (service records, awards, etc. ...) and portraits about him! Thank you for any help you can give me!

Sohn, 280 Seiten." ... and an other one from 1939: "Das Feldartillerie-Regiment 'Prinz August von Preußen (1. Litth.) Nr. 1 - 1772-1919." (Schriftenreihe: Aus Deutschlands großer Zeit. Ehem. preuß.
