    1. The Hptm Beeckmann in our list was from FAR 35, Patent as Lt in 1900, Major aD in 1918, but I couldn't find his first name.
    2. Trying to find the first name of Hptm dR Skrodzki from RIR 38. He cannot be the Hptm dL (1914) from GGR 5, that was Friedrich/Fritz, born 1864 in Limburg, in captivity from 1917 to 1919.

Prof. Dr. Heinrich Quiring (1885-1964) is listed in the Deutsche Biographie with a Hohenzollern: https://www.deutsche-biographie.de/pnd116318562.html The entry does not explicitly say "with swords", but Deutsche Biographie might have been sloppy.
