    1. The Olt dR "Bennighoven" in our list is Dr. jur. Wilhelm Benninghoven, later also Prof. I couldn't find his living dates, but he is found as "Syndikus" during the 1920s in Essen, and in Essen address books until at least 1965. Essener Volkszeitung, 22.10.1918
    2. For the Hptm dR Mathieu from RIR 30, there are two possibilities, both in 1914 Lt dR from IR 30, both from Roden (brothers?): - Nikolaus, born 1880 in Roden - Adolf, born 1884 in Roden, died as Dr. jur., Amtsgerichtsrat in 1929, see death notice below
    3. Ulrich Hugo Julius Materne, born 28. Dez. 1871 in Schroda, died in Preetz 13. Okt. 1954, as OTL aD (acc. to myheritage). Ernst Philipp Otto Mathi, born 6.11.1868 in Frankfurt/M., alive in 1939.
    4. The Major "Marschalk", who got the HHOX in late 1918, puzzles me a bit. There is no "Marschalk" in the ERL. There were two Obersten "Marschalck von Bachtenbrock", but it can be neither Wilhelm, from DR 21 (he was already OTL by 1917), nor Arnold (a zD OTL). Of the officers with name "Marschall", only one would fit: Alfred Ernst Erich Marschall from IR 132, born 13.3.1872 in Mescherin. If it's not him, then it could only be one of the several Majore "Marschall von Bieberstein", but that would have meant several mistakes had been made in the MWB.
    5. The Hptm dR Gärtner from RFAR 7 was Hans Gärtner, later Landrat. Died in Münster in 1972: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Gärtner_(Landrat) From Die Glocke, 12.1.1941
    6. Here is a very late notice for one we don't have yet it seems: Lt dR Friedrich Craß from Hamborn Hamborner Volkszeitung, 11.7.1920
    7. Bernhard Ruberg became SS-Brigadeführer, died 1945: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernhard_Ruberg Some research about the SS-Schade (1888-1966) was done at AHF, the bio shown there (though I don't know where it comes from) does not list a HHOX: https://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?t=83354
    8. About the two Lotze: One is Robert Franz Benevenuto Lotze, Major aD from Pioniere, born 2.9.1875 in Osterode, died 1965, as is mentioned here: https://www.archiv-vegelahn.de/index.php/osterode-am-harz/item/5368-unter-dem-harze-nr-929-931-kindheit-in-osterode-vor-hundert-jahren-1875-1948 The other Lotze was Hauptmann aD in 1918, originally from FR 36. In 1914 as Lt kommandiert zur Haupt-Kadetten-Anstalt, but I don't find his first name.
    9. Major Lenné is Hans Ludwig Lenné, 4.1.1877 - 28.11.1965 in Düsseldorf (acc. to geneal. data). Three of his sons were KIA in WW2.
    10. More info on Major aD Erwin Theodor von Kaulla (1877 in Illereichen - 1956 in Konstanz), from a Jewish family of bankers: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaulla_(Unternehmerfamilie)
    11. Käsbach is Ewald, born 27.9.1876 in Bottrop (VL), MIA in 1918, later declared dead: https://heimatverein-gladbeck.de/chronik-des-vereins/
    12. Jülicher is Martin (1893-1963): http://www.der-chronist.de/wickrath.html
    13. We have a Karl von Hake, but I think we don't have him yet: Fritz Adolf Carl von Hake, born 15.8.1874 in Soldin. 1914 Hptm in 5. GzF. Cdr of IR 462, Maj aD. Died 30.9.1958 in Bad Hersfeld (acc. to data from myheritage). His HHOX is mentioned along with his other awards in a publication "Geschichte der brandenburgischen Familie von Hake", 1928:
    14. Otto Karl August Zickendrath, born 20.3.1873 in Johannisburg/Oberlahnkreis (ancestry).
    15. Georg von Wühlisch, son of GM Bruno v. W., born 1883, KIA as Oberst in 1944.
    16. Maybe we had him here already: The Olt "von Winkler" in our list can only be Hartwig von Winckler, originally from IR 152, later a flyer. 1888-1954, in WW2 Lw Oberst: https://www.tracesofwar.com/persons/73850/Winckler-von-Hartwig.htm
    17. The Hptm dR Winkler from RIR 11 was Amtsgerichtsrat in Zobten during WW1, but I couldn't find his first name. There was an Oskar Winkler who was Amtsgerichtsrat in Delitzsch in 1924 (acc. to their address book), but I am not sure whether they are identical.
    18. Olt Jancke (or maybe rather the Lt dR Janke) is Dr. Herbert Jancke (1886-1959), Oberfinanzpräsident: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbert_Jancke Name found below in Breslauer Hochschul-Rundschau 1918:
    19. This should be a new one: Rudolf Berkemeyer, also received the Hessen. From the Verzeichnis der Universität Rostock, 1918.
    20. Hptm dL Sunkel can only be Heinrich Friedrich Sunkel, born 2. Mai 1877 in Rotenburg/Fulda, Amtsrichter (ancestry).
    21. Major Dencker can only be Fritz Hermann Dencker, cdr of FußAR 10: (Glenn provided the info: https://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?t=104571) Died 28. Aug. 1952 in Haselünne as OTL aD acc. to data from myheritage (they have his birth date as 24 Jan 1869 in Solingen). Hptm Davids is Adolf Wilhelm Davids, born 24.4.1881 in Schleswig, died 31.3.1933 (ancestry). We had him here already: https://gmic.co.uk/topic/39659-ek2-18701914-spange-baden-mystery-medal-bar/
    22. Hptm aD Dettinger can only be Karl Dettinger. He is listed in the ERL under "wiederverwendete inaktive Offiziere", originally from IR 132, and in the VL listed from Stuttgart.
    23. The Lt dR "Belimack" in our list is probably a misread Fraktur writing of "Behmack". Belimack does not exist as a name. We have a Lt dR Kurt Behmack in the VL, from MG-Kompanie of IR 72. From Bunzlau/Schlesien. This looks like another fascinating story: born 1887, he was from a Jewish family, became Zahnarzt in Torgau, emigrated to Paraguay in 1939 and returned to Germany, died in 1962. https://stolpersteine-torgau.de/index.php/orte-biographien/karl-marx-platz-6-behmack
    24. Constantin Rudolf Karl Maria Freiherr von Berchem-Königsfeld, 1889 (Steinach) -1948 (Berlin) (acc. to myheritage)
    25. Thanks! Now I could find him: Born 13. Mai 1879 in Barmen, in address book Düsseldorf 1941/42 as Major z.V. Died 22. Dezember 1959 (https://michaelwiescher.com/getperson.php?personID=I411&tree=Beeckmann)
