Hi, I just got this photot in the mailbox , but I cant find anything about a General von Dallwitz ? Nor in my Rank lists or on the net .... Could anyone have some info about him or any other officers on the pic ? Bad Altheide is in Poland so I suppose this should be on the Eastern front 1917 The seller wrote " Gen Dallwitz with Flieger Offiziers" Christer

Wow , could just be ! I actually don´t remember when I bought them but good chance that is was last year Do you have the medal bar ?

And the backside with name ? Thanks in advance Christer

Hi, could someone help me with the name of thsi officer ? He has a rather nice ribbonbar from WW1 First front

A small but still nice one , if I read it right ? Lippe Detmold KVK , Preussen RK Med III , Würt Charlottenkreuz And the little button with a HEK wo Swords . Could have been a Lippe Detmold Doc ? To bad he didnt got some more awards Happy easter everyone Christer

Hi Chris , I found on the net a chapter from the book "By All And Any Means " by Commandant de Gerlache de Gommery, 1915 In the article it says that Soldiers from INF Rgt 108 was killing the people in Dinant. Could that be true , there was a Füsilier Rgt Prinz Georg 108 ? Maybe someone else have more info Christer

:jumping: Wow , in service 1859 ! and died 1945 ...... Must been one of the longest military services I ever heard of. He would have chocked the Russian troops in March 1945 if he had showed up in uniform Christer

Aha , thanks ! What a family , a General, a Grüppenführer ( Oberst ? ) and a Oberst I wonder if Felix had any children and what become of them ..... But his grandfather had the best moustache Christer

And another big gun hit my mailbox today Now a WW 1 one , possible German but it can of course be a captured French gun ?? What caliber could it be ? 210 -240 mm ? anyone got a clue Regards from Sweden Christer

Hi, I bought this photo of a Hauptmann from Feld Artillerie Regiment 33 His name is Carl lange and the photo was taken in 1918, when looking through the Rangliste of 1924 I found a OberstLt Lange in 2 Division Stab des Artillerieführers II . Could it be the same man ? The question is if he contioued into Reichswehr or not I fully understand that Lange is a common name and it probably is impossible to find out anything, but I still make a call for help Any info is much appreciated Christer

Aha , Thanks Uwe ! Another big gun to the collection Christer

And the backside with the names Christer
