    1. Ahh! I had forgotten - but so he is indeed listed in the Königsberger, just as I predicted.
    2. Königsberger Hartungsche Zeitung, 6.11.1918: Flyer Lt Büttner, leader of a Jasta (he is probably the one from RFAR 70) and Lt Willy Nelson from Königsberg - this should be an entirely new one.
    3. Königsberger Hartungsche Zeitung, 31.10.1918: We had him already, but here is more info about Olt dR Paul Reichwaldt: Prof. Dr. Paul Oskar Reichwaldt, born 8.11.1885 in Arnau/Kreis Osterode, died 19.6.1965 in Berlin (West) (acc. to ancestry) This text about him appeared in the Ostpreußen-Warte 1955:
    4. Königsberger Hartungsche Zeitung, 20.10.1918: We have Kreddig already. Olt Ganswindt from Wadang/Allenstein is most probably Herbert Ganswindt (born around 1889), whose death notice (at 90) appeared in the Ostpreußenblatt in 1978:
    5. Ah - the guys in Berlin have woken up and made progress in digitizing their newspapers: Here we have a Lt and Kpführer Karl Müller from Tilsit. Königsberger Hartungsche Zeitung, 8.10.1918
    6. FAA is Festungs-Artillerie-Abteilung, right? According to his bio, Berger was from infantry, IR 13, is that transfer possible? Friedrichfranz Feeser: 1875-1938 https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrichfranz_Feeser
    7. Siegfried von Rekowski, 1896-1990 Luftwaffe sources and Generals' Bios Series credit GL Hilmer Freiherr von Bülow with HHOX, hard to tell in the picture:
    8. According to the Generals' Bios Series, GM Arthur von Briesen got the HHOX as well, not just GdI Kurt von Briesen.
    9. Did GenLt Carl Briese receive the HHOX before his PLM? He is credited with it on Wikipedia (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Briese), and the picture shown there might have the HHOX in second place:
    10. Hermann Beeken was KIA in Demjansk 1942: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermann_Beeken Can't find him in our list so far: Prof. Dr. med. Wilhelm Berger https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelm_Berger_(Mediziner,_1895)
    11. Erich Bientz: 1874-1950 https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erich_Bientz One of the OltdR Becker (maybe the one from RFAR 20?) is Richard Becker, 1884-1969: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Becker_(Politiker)
    12. Georg August Balduin Auenmüller, born 1893 in Dresden, died 1939 in Berlin, death certificate at ancestry. Also listed in Adressbuch Dresden 1925 as Olt aD.
    13. Did Olivier von Beaulieu-Marconnay receive the HHOX before his PLM? The German Wikipedia explicitly mentions this: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olivier_von_Beaulieu-Marconnay
    14. Hugo v. Abercron, later char. GM, 1869-1945, also more awards here: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugo_von_Abercron
    15. Lt Otto Buurman(n) is this one, matching birthdates with Verlustlisten. He became a doctor, DRK "Bundesarzt", 1890-1967, other awards also listed here: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_Buurman
    16. Lt dL Emil(e) Cabayot was born in Metz on 19.12.1879 acc. to Verlustlisten, died there on 23.2.1966: https://ancestors.familysearch.org/en/L5TQ-F84/emile-cabayot-1879-1966
    17. WIlly Kölker, credited here with HHOX, would be another new one: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willy_Kölker Stumme would be Gerhard, at least he is credited here: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerhard_Stumme_(Landrat)
    18. Good find! A new one who is probably listed in the Königsberger Hartungsche Zeitung - only that I currently don't have access to digitized issues after September 1918!
    19. Lt dL Klatt from LIR 8 should be Fritz Klatt from Niedzwedzen, Johannisburg (as per Verlustlisten).
    20. Konrad/Conrad Kleinekuhle, former Hptm dR in IR 161, retired as Oberpostrat in Koblenz in 1938. From Kölnische Zeitung, 24.10.1938.
