And indeed, a few days later, several further recipients from the Hagen region were posted: Hermann Kracht - we had him already. Paul Noelle/Nölle - new first name, from 1. GzF. Erich Schmolinski - we had him, went into RAD. August Tempelmann - new first name. Hagener Zeitung, 12.7.1934 One of the Wolffs, Regierungsrat aD Paul Wolff, died 1945. Hagener Zeitung, 3.3.1945

No new info here, but it looks like in the 1930s, people seemed to regionally collect names of HHOX recipients (we had an example here earlier from Halle). Those lists would have been interesting - from Hagen only one is named here, Rektor Franz Wurm (we have him already). Hagener Zeitung, 29.6.1934 New first name: OTL aD Otto Schmitz, died 1926. Hagener Zeitung, 2.8.1926

Ok, digitization of the Hannoverscher Kurier has advanced to 1917. Not much new info so far, but here are some cases we already have, as a start: Hptm Günther Tidow was from Hannover, had the Hessen as well: 7.12.1917 Walther Wriede from Lüneburg, born 1894 (Matty had him already), KIA 1918: 2.12.1917

I have had this bar for many years, but only now found out what the last ribbon is: It is not, as Rick thought long ago, a regimental medal. It is the Dutch 1901 Wedding Medal (Huwelijksmedaille, https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huwelijksmedaille_1901) for the Wedding of Queen Wilhelmina and Prince Hendrik of Mecklenburg-Schwerin. Besser, then OTL, must have been a guest at the wedding, which makes additional sense since he had a connection to Mecklenburg and several of their awards.

Lt dR Deschang from FR 34 is Emil Deschang, born 18.11.1891 in Rixheim/Mülhausen, Alsace. He also has a file in the Karlsruhe archives: http://www.landesarchiv-bw.de/plink/?f=4-1318145 Hptm dR Dahse from FAR 241 should be the 1914 Lt dR in FAR 41, from Bezirk Rostock, but I don't find his first name.
