Hello, I'm looking at archives or/and writen records of members of the St George cross arround 1797 - 1816. Thanks you for your help and best regards, Jens

Chris, I checked this too - but also no Brezel/Bretzel...: EPN_1263261493_0533.jpg 1600 × 2451 Pixel ... also I can't find the name in the iron-cross Seniorenverzeichnis from march 1863. Gruß Jens

... nice! Very nice!!! Thanks and best regards, Jens p.s.: why I can't find the name in the Ordensliste 1817!? See name-index here: EPN_1263261493_0592.jpg 1600 × 2508 Pixel

Hi, I think the third ribbon is KVK-II. Lippe-Detmold: Ordensbänderkarten der Firma A. D. L. Best regards, Jens

Hi, first picture: (Gustav Hans) Günther P a u l u s (* 17. Okt. 1898 in Rawitsch/Posen) Begann als Kadett und trat am 10. Aug. 1914 zum Königs-Inf.-Regt. Nr.145, mehrere Gefechte als Fähnrich an der Westfront, erhielt am 1. Sept. 1914 bei Dannevoux ein schweren Schulterschuß und erhielt Mitte September als jüngster Soldat (16 Jahre alt) das Eiserne-Kreuz II. Klasse. Die schwere Verwundung hatte die fast völlige Lähmung seines linken Armes zur Folge, infolgedessen konnte seinem Wunsch, später wieder in die vorderste Front zu kommen, nicht Folge gegeben werden. Nachdem er sehr rasch Leutnant wurde, fand er anschliessend bei verschiedene Stäben Stellungen (EKI). Nach der Demobilmachung ging er zum Freikorps und machte als Kompanieführer bei Kämpfe gegen die Bolschewiken und Littauer mit (Deutsche Schutzdivision (31.ID auch Division von der Lippe)). März 1920 nahm er seinen Abschied und wurde Bankbeamter in Braunschweig. And the second picture I also found in the net - unfortunately I can't rember where. Best regards, Jens

Hi, I agree with Andreas - it's the cypher from the Feld-Artillerie-Regiment Prinz-Regent Luitpold von Bayern (2. Württembergisches) Nr.29 Best regards, Jens

Hi Chris, maybe one of this!? - Inf.-Rgt. 81, since 1871 Frankfurt/Main - Feld-Art.-Rgt. 11 (parts), 1868 - 1872 Frankfurt/Main Best regards, Jens Addition: I think it could be: Heinrich Karl Söldner, Sek.-Lieut. i. d. Res. d. 1. Hess. Inf.-Rgts. Nr.81 !?! (Königlich Preussische Ordensliste 1877 - Seite 938)

Hi Andreas, I'm not sure, the badge is looking like the old sign/symbol from Telegraphen- & Nachrichten-Truppen!? On the collar it looks like a (Divisions-)Kleinabzeichen (wearing also on cap (Kappenabzeichen)!? Is on the card a date? Best regards, Jens

Hi Chris, nice tunic - one question: what is the size of this small stars (13 or 15 mm)!? (a "regular" star for an Oberleutnant is around 17 mm.) Thanks & best regards, Jens picture: Hauptmann shoulderboards with 13 mm & 15 mm stars.

Hi Chris, I don't think so, maybe General der Kavallerie Karl Friedrich von der Goltz !??? Best regards, Jens

Hi Chris, on iron-cross documents it's: Infanterie-Division Best regards, Jens

Cheers, Jens

Hallo Sonja, für Deine Ahnen in der sächsischen Armee solltest Du mal im Hauptstaatsarchiv in Dresden recherchieren: Hauptstaatsarchiv Dresden - 2.3.8.5. Verbände und Truppenteile der Sächsischen Armee ... dort sind (noch fast) alle Stammrollen erhalten geblieben. Gruß Jens

Hi, I see a lot of swedish cuffs, you are sure it's IR20 !?? Maybe a good close-up from a shoulderboard is helpful!? Best regards, Jens

Hi Paul, in the last years, I saw only two bavarian (framed) certificates for the Königsabzeichen (1. Komp., bay. 21. Inf.-Rgt. 1911 & 4. Komp., bay. 13. Inf.-Rgt. 1912). I've never seen a prussain certificate for the Kaiserabzeichen. A complete winner-list you will find here: Kaiserpreis (Schiesswettbewerb von 1895 bis 1913) – GenWiki Best regards, Jens

Hi, the name is "Emil". Regards, Jens p.s.: nice stuff and the watch is great!

Hi Irish Gunner, thank you very much for your help! Thanks & best regards, Jens

Dear Matt, thank you for your help. The mail is missing around two weeks. But the german post said: it was delivered on 19. April - but that's not tue! Thanks and regards, Jens

Hi, I'm missing a registered mail, inside a jubilee medal from the Field Artillery Regiment No.15 (Strasbourg). If someone sees this medal or gets offered, please contact me. Thanks and regards Jens "Zur Erinnerung des 25. jährigen Bestehens - Feld-Artillerie Regiment Nº.15" - "19. Mai 1871 - 1896"

Jens

Hi Andreas, I think so too! Thx. Hi Nick, that's a good idea with the Whampoa Academy, see also Sino-German cooperation. Thanks and best regards, Jens

Hello guys, thank you very much for your great help!!! @Nick: great, so a 2nd lieutenant from the Chinese nationalist army! Thank you for your detailed informations! @Rick & Andy: sorry - I forgot to tell, it's the 13. (Minenwerfer)-Kompanie from the 12. Infanterie-Regiment, on the back the picture is dated between 1926 -1930. I have three big pictures from the Minenwerfer-Kompanie, from 1922 - 1926, from 1926 - 1930 and from 1930 - 1934. And here a better close-up from the officers: Stab 13. Minenwerfer-Kompanie 12IR Bataillonskommandeur (III. Btl. 1928-1930): Major Buchholz; Kompaniechef 13. (MW.)-Komp. (1926-1932): Hauptmann v. Werder. On weekend I will check the regimentel history, maybe something is writing about a chinese officier!? (I will tell you.*) Thanks again and best regards, Jens * nothing found about a foreign officier in the regimentel history.

Hi, I have a picture from the german infantry-regiment Nr. 12 (Reichswehr), around 1930. Between the officiers sitting a foreign soldier (maybe from China!???). I will be appreciate for any information. Thanks and best regards, Jens

Hi, I thing also the 1. Ersatz-Bataillon Inf.-Rgt. Nr.75 and the City is Limmer. Best regards, Jens
