      Inf. Regt. 361 & rank ID

      A search in the casualty list showed 14 hits to Arthur Ramm: http://des.genealogy.net/eingabe-verlustlisten/search/index

      Most likely he´s the one from Reinfeld, Stormarn, who was wounded in early 1915 as an Unteroffizier in 2nd company / Brigade-Ersatz-Bataillon 36 (which on 15th July 1915 then formed the 3rd bataillon / IR 361) and was reported missing in 1918 as Offizier-Stellvertreter.

      The pics on post 2 show definitive some guys wearing fantasy uniforms for a theatre play on the napoleonic era. I think the guy on the chair is to represent General Bluecher.

      Freiherr von Pentz (1882-1968) was a former active, then reserve officer of saxon Ulanen Rgt. 17. In 1917/1918 he was a batallion cdr. in IR 134. His younger sister Helene was married with Carl Heinrich von Stülpnagel, later Wehrmacht General and 1944 condemned to death.

      Hauptmann von Uggla, Swedish Life Guard

      in Northern European & Baltic States

      Posted · Edited by IR 134

      Good morning everybody!

      The former saxon officer Vieth von Golßenau alias Ludwig Renn names in his book "Adel im Untergang" this swedish officer who was commmanded for duty-service to the saxon Leib-Grenadier-Regiment 100 Dresden in ca. 1912-1913. Can someone give me further details of him?

      Many thanks.

      Gruß Stefan

      P.S. found this in the Sverige statskalender 1915: Carl Gustafsson Uggla, captain in Nr. 1 Royal Swedish Life Guard Infantry.

      I´ve got hold of this saxon cadet pic. I´m 99 % sure that the name on the back reads "Rudolf Franz".

      I´ve checked the register of the cadet corps from Johannes Hoeser from 1937 and there was no second person with this or a similar name at the corps.

      But what confuses me is

      a) the Dating 1887-1888 (Arrow): Rudolf Franz was born 1893, joined the saxon cadet corps 1907, left it 1913 to join Ulanrenrgt. 21. One year later he fell in Poland. He received the St. Henry posthumously.

      and

      b) the photographers adress: according to Adreßbuch Dresden Atelier Th. Kirsten was in Bautznerstr. 79 only from 1876-1887.

      What are your opinions relating to the name?

      Gruß Stefan

      Think I´ve got it: It´s Rudolf Krantz :jumping: (name on the pic false written), St. Henry Winner, Kdr. of Reichswehr-IR 11 and Wehrmacht-General who was wounded at the Eastern front as Cdr. 454 Sicherungsdivision and died in Dresden . From 1887-1891 he was a cadet in Dresden which fit with the dating on the picture.

      Anyone able to provide a later pic of him please?

      Gruß Stefan

      Stefan,

      He was assigned to the Unteroffizier Schule from 01.04.1898-26.03.1899 and then to the Unteroffizier Vorschule from 26.03.1899-31.03.1901. He was promoted Hptm. on 29.03.1900.

      Thank you very much Andy. So my estimate of the date of the picture has been right.

      Very nice picture Stefan. Congrats. If one day you want to sell it, please think of me.

      Regards
