    1. Here's another one I am unsure of, no rank given, not in the list, could also be a Princely one:

       

      Matthias Wielputz (might be Wielpütz, there was a Lt dR with that name in IR 30).

       

      Kölner Local-Anzeiger, 17.7.1918

      Ah no - in November he is listed as Unteroffizier for his EK1. So his Hohenzollern must have been a medal to the Princely House Order I guess.

      In a discussion with other collectors, this name appeared: Karl Andreas Ernst  Becker, Oberregierungsrat in Dresden! 

      Well he got the officers cross of Brunswick, so it might be a good fit. 

      Ah! Good candidate! According to the DOA1908, he held an RAO4, Saxon LD2 and the Austrian Franz Joseph. He was head of the Kriminalpolizei Dresden at the time. So if you can confirm the Brunswick order, this should be him.

    3. Some more info on Wilhelm Rau (1886-1960), from Iserlohner Kreisanzeiger und Zeitung, 9.11.1921:

      Cannot find an August Rawen-Bochum. I wonder if he is the Lt dL Raven in our list.
