Hi,

Hi Stephan,

One in Lettland:

http://de.wikipedia....g/wiki/RÄ"zekne

Uwe

Stephan

It is the military rank of a "Fähnrich" in the cavalry - English term would be Ensign

thanks a lot !

Stephan

Hi Stephan,

Rositten. Cornet v. Hahn

But I think, that it is Rositten in East Prussia

Uwe

Many thanks for answers.

Rositten was part of East Prussia before the Latvian war of independence. This Photo was taken at beginning 1920' during this war.

Can you explain me the word "Cornet" ? (first name, rank ?)

Stephan

Hi all,

Can you help me with this german writing ?

" Rositten, [Cornet ?????] von Halm (von Hahn ?)"

Rositten : in Latvia, today Rēzekne.

Thanks.

Stephan

Hi,

in several photos you said that Lt Thieme-Harmann, the real name is Leutnant Erich Thieme-Gamann from IR 102. He received both iron crosses and knight cross 2nd class with X of Albert Order

Christophe

Yes, I was wrong about the name. But I think he is Thieme-Garmann (with "R") as we can see here :

Very interesting photos indeed..!

I especially liked these with aviation connection, like nr 41. I have problem reading the name of the pilot. Could it be Vfw Mohrenschultz or similar..?

I do think that the observer is Lt Binkau. I do not have his first name but he was living in Leipzig after the War, so maybe he have a Saxon connection..

Gunnar

You're right, the observer is Leutnant Binkau. The pilot, I'm not sure but I think Mahrenholtz :

Thanks for comments
