Hi Jon, That was indeed Wilhelm Graf v Hohenau. His neck order was HSH2b. HIs bruststern was SC2a. He was in the uniform of Rgt d Garde du Corps whcich he commanded 10.06.99 to 22.04.02. Thanks Elwyn

@Ex_Scout That was a wonderful picture you posted -- we can see this can now be ID'ed as Maximilian as well.

Here's Friedrich August v Trotha Thanks

There is the little blurry picture of Oberst Hörauf. Thanks

Karl v Beck Kmdr IR 91 31.08.09 - 22.03.13

Ludwig v Sobbe Max v Kleist Arthur Freiherr v Wangenheim

Here only SA2aKD

I always speculated Husar on the extreme left to be FrHr v Fritsch..... seems to fit Would anyone have his Date of Birth and Date of Death?

Hi Christophe, If ObLt Lüder was in any way connected to RIR 133, my guess for the general would be GenLt Max Morgenstern Döring, Kmdr of 24 Res Div the superior formation of RIR 133. I think I can see the general in question wearing glasses like Morgenstern Döring did. If we stick with LIR 133, then the only Saxon superior formation kmdr that remotely looked like the general in the picture would be Horst v Tettenborn of 45 Ldw Brig. v Tettenborn only became GenMj on 15.07.18 and probably would not be so highly decorated and was fighting on the Eastern Front. For ObStLt Francke, the conenction to LIR was actually closer. Francke was later Kmdr of IR 179. I/IR 179 was used to form I/LIR 133] Thanks Elwyn Husaren Officer with Flügeladjutant's aiguilette was more than likely at this point Major or Oberstleutnant Harry Freiherr v Fritsch. He was 1 Esk Husaren Rgt 19 and was the only Husaren FlüAdj of FA III I have on my files. Thanks

7th pic from bottom on horse back was then ObstLt Paul Benno Karl Francke, Stab IR 133, later GenMj. Thanks

Hi Christophe Very nice! Third from bottom of your pics Man behind FA III kind of being the only person in his row was GenAdj GdK Ludwig Moritz Camillio FrHr v Müller Thanks Elwyn

Me too. Message sent, CR/ Mr Beery? I thought I had a signed copy of one of the other volumes but it was actually a letter ... he sold that to em directly. Thanks Elwyn

Major 01.06.97 Oberstleutnant 27.01.05 Oberst 11.09.07 Generalmajor 21.04.11 Char als Generalleutnant He was reactivated. Inspector of Ldw Inspektion 1 Altona 04.09.14, with Militär Gouvernment in Belgien 23.10.14, Kmdr 43 Ldw Brig 24.01.5, abschied 12.01.19? Thanks

Hi Paul and Claudio, This was on Ebay some moons ago. v Rosensteil was a giant of a man. Does anyone know whom his predecessor was at 1 Matrosen Rgt prior to 04.16? Thanks

The other was Karl v Alten Thanks

RH General v Bram

A bit too blurry to make any more constructive comment. But it was Jehlin and I have seen this event being dated as taking place in 1917 with Bavarian 8th Res Div parade. 2nd pic on extreme left was Walter v Walderstötten, Gen Adj of König Ludwig III 5th pic second left next to v Jehlin was v Conta Kmdr of Karpathen Korps. Second right next to Kaiser Wilhelm was Austrain FM Kövess Thanks

It's Maximilian Ritter v Jehlin, MMJO 08.02.1916

1st row second from right just one step behind everyone else was later GenMj Heinrich Ritter v Füchtbauer. He was beim Stab RW IR 47. He was the third MMJO winner here. However, there was a 4th MMJO -- third man from right as his ribbon was very big. I thought he was Spruner v Mertz but the man was killed duirng the war. Elwyn

All pretty tame stuff except on the extreme left was the Humane Society bronze medal for saving a couple of ladies drowning and on the extreme right was his Dutch Expedition Cross from being Military Attaché in Acheen (today's Aceh) with the Dutch army. Cheers

Not so uncommon apparently but he was one of a number of generals to have received both the Military GCB and the Civilian division - here a CB. But he had some interesting stuff to go with that .... ÖEK1 and ÖFJ1. Not to mention these! Cheers

Thanks. I forgot it was mentioned here. The little crown did throw me off. A porcelain work from Queen Victoria's favorite artisan seems to support that.

Here are two portraits of Gen Sir Francis Reginald Wingate High Commissioner of Egypt 17 - 19 with the rarely seen Order of Ismail Type 1 breast star, Commander or Grand Commander Order of the Star of Ethiopia and Order of the Nile Breast Star. he was given the Jordanian Order of Renaissance later as well but I have not been able to spot that Cheers

This is a reasonable depiction. The breast star of the Order of the Garter, the Order of the Star of India, the St Michael and St George breast star, and on the spange: R-L Ernestine House Order, Oldenburg Cross and the Greek Redeemer are all within reason. I can't figure for the life of me what is the next to the Redeemer on the spange, or the last one. The "continental old style" ribbon and what looks like a crown at the top of the round medal makes this unlikely to be a British medal. Cheers

Hahaha, Daniel always gets it right! Took me a whole day before I found this marble bust of Connaught. It's the Hesse MVK indeed! His oldest sister Vicky was of course Kaiserin to Friedrich III. And father-in-law Friedrich Karl was Chef to Husaren Rgt Nr 3 and Connaught was à la suite. However, second sister Alice was Großherzogin of Hesse. So he got it from Ludwig IV. Supposed to be given to Franco Prussian war veterans but I guess good to be a VIP! In this case Vanity Fair even got the colours of the ribbon somewhat correct! Cheers
