    1. Another first name: Lt dR Max Wolff, he might be the one from FAR 263. Dortmunder Zeitung, 1.7.1918
    2. New first name: Pionier Lt dR Heinrich Thomas (should be the one from PB 312). Froschloch... sounds like a place from the Shire... ? Dortmunder Zeitung, 5.5.1918
    3. New first name: Georg Hallermann, an early NSDAP member and SA adjutant. Died in 1930. Dortmunder Zeitung, 14.9.1933
    4. One of the Beckers: Lt dR Wilhelm Becker, he might be the one from RIR 441. Rhein- und Ruhrzeitung, 24.5.1918
    5. New first name: Lt Hans Grothe (NOT "von Grothe", that's a different one) from Akazienhof, Duisburg. Rhein- und Ruhrzeitung, 17.5.1918
    6. A very interesting case: this notice from Dortmunder Zeitung, 30.7.1934, is about the promotion of Polizei-OTL Magnus who had received the HHOX. According to the DAL Schupo Preußen 1933, first name is Bruno, born 1884: He might be the HdL from RFußAR 11 in our list, but I cannot tell.
    7. New first name: Otto Apprecht Dortmunder Zeitung, 30.12.1917 Not sure which one in our list this would be: Theodor Brandt, who later became pastor in Dortmund. Dortmunder Zeitung, 15.1.1934
    8. Another NO case: Prof. Dr. Dr. Oskar Türk (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oskar_Türk), after 1945 one of the founding members of the FDP Köln, got a Princely one: https://www.deutsche-digitale-bibliothek.de/item/C6X7VARELRG3XAC774TB5A4Z3HKIWVBS Notice about him in Kölner Local-Anzeiger, 9.9.1943
    9. Here's another one I am unsure of, no rank given, not in the list, could also be a Princely one: Matthias Wielputz (might be Wielpütz, there was a Lt dR with that name in IR 30). Kölner Local-Anzeiger, 17.7.1918 Ah no - in November he is listed as Unteroffizier for his EK1. So his Hohenzollern must have been a medal to the Princely House Order I guess.
    10. Ah! Good candidate! According to the DOA1908, he held an RAO4, Saxon LD2 and the Austrian Franz Joseph. He was head of the Kriminalpolizei Dresden at the time. So if you can confirm the Brunswick order, this should be him.
    11. Some more info on Wilhelm Rau (1886-1960), from Iserlohner Kreisanzeiger und Zeitung, 9.11.1921: Also here: https://www.menden.de/fileadmin/user_upload/Leben_in_Menden/Stadtarchiv/pdf/Rau-Wilhelm.pdf Cannot find an August Rawen-Bochum. I wonder if he is the Lt dL Raven in our list. From Iserlohner Kreisanzeiger und Zeitung, 25.8.1917
    12. This should be a new one: OTL aD Ernst Böther-Schultze Death notice from Honnefer Volkszeitung, 4.5.1966
    13. New first name: Wilhelm Jüssen from FAR 44, died 1937: From General-Anzeiger für Bonn und Umgegend, 14.5.1937. Death notice for Friedrich von Mallinckrodt. General-Anzeiger für Bonn und Umgegend, 8.8.1941.
    14. The flyer Lt Schulz-Dornburg in our list later conducted the Reichsorchester des Deutschen Luftsports (and others). From General-Anzeiger für Bonn und Umgegend, 30.4.1934. First name Rudolf (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudolf_Schulz-Dornburg). We had a thread here about the family years ago:
