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

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

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.

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

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.

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

Thanks. I know all of those. This one is not known to the link or to me. All pictures post 1882 as it was post Egypt obviously and the Duke was also awarded Prussian PLM in 1882.

Regarding Chris Boonzaier post third pic from the bottom, It was not Boris of Bulgaria but rather Herzog v Braunschweig visiting Thiacourt near Champagne on 07.07.1915 with IV/IR 368 which was under 25 Erz Brig, 10 Erz Div.
