    1. This might be another new White Falcon: Lt dR Walter Laatsch Königsberger Hartungsche Zeitung, 31.7.1918
    2. Another submitted one (do we ever have cases in which we know they really got it?): Lt Erich Bornebusch Vossische Zeitung, 5.6.1918
    3. Saxon Lt Rudolph Gaudlitz was submitted to HHOX, but not sure he got it: From Vossische Zeitung, 21.8.1918 Some additional info on Hptm iG Walther Potthoff: Vossische Zeitung, 27.8.1918
    4. This might be a spectacular new one: Former officer from GrenR 5, later (relatively) famous actor Will (Wilhelm) Dohm Found in: Illustrierter Sonntag (Der gerade Weg), 26.05.1929 (more info about him here: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0230638/. He is also the father of German actress Gaby Dohm)
    5. A first name and some more info on Maj Wilhelm Ritgen: Vossische Zeitung, 8.10.1918 special note here: "wie 1870 sein Vater"
    6. Hptm Edgar Wulf was from FAR 99: Vossische Zeitung, 7.11.1918 Ok, this is not HHOX, but could this be a new addition to the White Falcon rolls? Lt dR Kurt Leitholf Vossische Zeitung, 15.11.1918
    7. Another first name and more: Lt Adolf Schleußner, Feldflieger Frankfurter Zeitung und Handelsblatt, 24.06.1918
    8. We have a Lt Weil, but this might be a new one, an Olt dR Weil: From Wiesbadener Tagblatt, 23.7.1918 More info on awards of Hptm Kamcke: Wiesbadener Tagblatt, 1.5.1918
    9. Another one who was submitted, not sure if he got it: Lt dR Paul Lotz Wiesbadener Tagblatt, 3.11.1918
    10. It looks like we have him already, but still: death notice of Lt dR Friedrich Eversmeyer, Westfälische Neueste Nachrichten, 22.10.1918 Similar: Lt dR Gustav Kolkmann (it however only says "eingereicht"/submitted to HHOX, so no guarantee he got it) Westfälische Neueste Nachrichten, 15.10.1918 Again, only submitted: Lt dR August Velhagen Westfälische Neueste Nachrichten, 26.10.1918
    11. One of the many Beckers: Dr. Ernst Becker, from IR44. Became a dentist later. Ostpreußenblatt, 25.12.1976
    12. What I can recognize: EK, Verdienstkreuz für Kriegshilfe, HHO, RAO4, some Long Service decoration probably then 4 foreign decorations: first might be Austrian 2nd looks a bit like the Hungarian War Remembrance Medal, but I'm not sure 3rd might be Danebrog last one: Bulgarian Order of Civil Merit
    13. Very interesting! The last Prussian "Hofgartendirektor". There is even a picture in the article, however the scan makes it unrecognizable. Fortunately, it can be found on the net: It might be that this is the Hohenzollern Hausorden without swords.
