    1. Some more info on awards of Hptm Richard de Vivanco From "Feldpost: Wöchentliches Nachrichtenblatt für die Feldtruppen", 9.11.1918 New first name and more info on Olt Martin Jürgensmeyer From "Feldpost: Wöchentliches Nachrichtenblatt für die Feldtruppen", 9.11.1918 Maj Gans Edler zu Putlitz' first name is Gebhard: From "Feldpost: Wöchentliches Nachrichtenblatt für die Feldtruppen", 16.11.1918 First name: Lt dR Kurt Schaller from IR 85, KIA 1918 From "Feldpost: Wöchentliches Nachrichtenblatt für die Feldtruppen", 23.11.1918
    2. Rittmeister Kurt Müller was originally from UR 14: From "Feldpost: Wöchentliches Nachrichtenblatt für die Feldtruppen", 19.10.1918 Another submitted one, may well have got it: Hptm dR Hans Jescheck, IR 157 From "Feldpost: Wöchentliches Nachrichtenblatt für die Feldtruppen", 26.10.1918
    3. No, his award was in the Staatsanzeiger on 24.9.1918. I just found his first name in this publication from 1919.
    4. Yet another first name: Lt Hermann Bartels (Hannover), from RIR 73 From Kriegs-Zeitung der Jugendwehr Borkum, Mai 1919
    5. New first name: Lt dR Ernst Josten from RJB4, KIA 1918 From Naumburger Tageblatt, 5.11.1918 Another first name: Lt Bogislaw v. Dewitz gen. v. Krebs from IR 21, KIA 1918 From Naumburger Tageblatt, 14.11.1918
    6. Some more info on other awards of Lt dR Otto Aschenbach: From Wilhelmshavener Tageblatt, 6.9.1918
    7. New first name: Lt Paul Soika from Stettin From General-Anzeiger für Stettin und die Provinz Pommern, 6.11.1918 (the other two we have)
    8. Another mentioning of a Finnish award to a German: Obermatrose Karl Petry From General-Anzeiger für Stettin und die Provinz Pommern, 26.10.1918
    9. The Wilhelmshavener Tageblatt (20.10.1918) reprinted these HHOX recipients, obviously based on the Staatsanzeiger entry from 17.10. I checked all the names, we have them all - except for one: Hptm dL aD von Zwingler ---> CORRECTION: "Zwingler" seems to be a typo. This is probably Hptm dL aD Rudolf von ZINGLER (in the list already).
    10. I guess we have him already, but just in case, here is a HHOX Komtur to a Geheimer Rat von Berg: From Königsberger Hartungsche Zeitung, 25.5.1918
    11. New first name: Lt dR Willy Joost from Sensburg/East Prussia. From Königsberger Hartungsche Zeitung, 31.5.1918
    12. Yet another (very late) submitted one who may well have got it: Hptm dR Zimmer, BatKdr in einem niedersächsischen IR (I couldn't determine the exact regiment.) This would be a new one, he is not in the list so far. From Schlesische Zeitung, Nov 1918
    13. Another new first name: The Lt dL Thomas from IR 450 who is in our list is Max Thomas: Regiment is not named in the death notice, but Maj Kaulbach was commander of IR 450. Also interesting: again another "only submitted" one according to the death notice, but we know he got the award through other sources. We should therefore list all submitted ones (at least in a separate category), even if we have no proof they got the award. From Schlawer Zeitung, 1.11.1918
    14. Here is an interesting overview notice for the decorations that IR 51 had got (by August 1918). There is at least one new first name: Hauptmann Alfred Müller from Weilerbach Also some interesting statistics at the end. From Schlesische Zeitung, 6.8.1918
    15. At least a first initial: Lt dR G. Schellmann from Breslau From Schlesische Zeitung, 12.8.1918
    16. Here is a Lt dR R. Nowack, not sure if this is the same one as the Lt dR Carl Nowack who is in the list. From Schlesische Zeitung, 27.9.1918 This is interesting: Here is a submitted one who we know definitely received it (he is in the list): Lt dR Kurt Dentler from IR 63 From Schlesische Zeitung, 28.9.1918
    17. New first name: Lt dR Kurt Erbe from Breslau From Schlesische Zeitung, 17.9.1918 One of the Goebels: Hptm Rudolf Goebel from IR 443 From Schlesische Zeitung, 17.9.1918
