Another submitted one, Lt dR Walter Gumprich, but I understand they (almost?) never really received it (?).

(Btw, seems to be a Jewish family.) 

From Münsterischer Anzeiger, 9.10.1918

A first name: Lt August Töns

From Münsterischer Anzeiger, 30.11.1918

This might be a new one: Lt dR Stumpf from Bentheim

From Münsterischer Anzeiger, 5.11.1918

Just a thought: Any chance that this is the later Flak Oberst Paul Stumpf (born 1893)?
In the 1914 RL, there is a Lt dR Stumpf in FAR 25. 

Not sure what this is: Oberzollkontrolleur Wölle? We have a H dL aD Wölle in the list, yes. 

Or is that a mistake, should it read "without swords" rather? 

From Münsterischer Anzeiger, 2.11.1918

Surprise find: I did not know that!

From Kölner Local-Anzeiger, 23.9.1918

A first name: Lt dR Karl Wendland

From Kölner Local-Anzeiger, 3.10.1918

Chance find: a number of Finnish awards nicely together 

From Kölner Local-Anzeiger, 2.6.1918

Second one: Lt zS Bruno Blank

From Arnsberger Zeitung, Okt 1918

Some more info on Lt Hensler from IR 169. 

From Freiburger Zeitung, 26.10.1918

Two more Zähringen not listed:
 

Lt Hugo Droll

Lt Hermann Strub (we have his brother Josef only so far)

Both from Freiburger Zeitung, October 1918

One of the Webers, Hptm and Bataillonskdr, not sure this helps anything: 

Die Presse, 30.10.1917

Another Zähringen chance find, I think we don't have him yet (or at least adds a first name): Lt dR Dr. August Keller

From Freiburger Zeitung, 18.11.1918

Julius Baader got submitted to HHOX, but most probably didn't get it anymore. 

From Freiburger Zeitung, 12.11.1918

Another chance find: I think Lt dR Hermann Ellinger is not yet listed as a Zähringen awardee, neither in Roth nor in the additional lists from Rick. 

From Freiburger Zeitung, 2.11.1918

Chance find, something not very common: Turkish Lifesaving Medal, to Schreibersmaat Georg Gloge on SMS Goeben

(Die Presse, 15.12.1917)

This is strange: The first issue of this Burschenschaft journal from 1914 lists an Eggers as Hptm already, also from IR 77. Period mistake?

Ah ok, the same issue mentions his promotion to Hauptmann: 

The same source also has info about another member of the same Burschenschaft, a Hauptmann Eggers.

The Jan/Feb 1918 issue mentions his HHOX:

This is not Hptm Friedrich Eggers, he got his HHOX already in 1916. 

He also got the ÖM3K, which is mentioned in the May/June 1917 issue - but still no first name:

ok, so he was Hptm dR in RIR 232, at least when the Sep/Okt/Nov 1916 issue came out:

In Jan 1915, he was Olt dR in IR 77. Still no first name. 

5 hours ago, Mattyboy said:

A first name - Lt dR Martin Schmidt from IR 20 (MWB dated 17/Aug/1918). From Karsdorf as per the verlustlisten. 

See pages 8-10 of the attachment. 

http://idb.ub.uni-tuebingen.de/opendigi/LXV304a-22#p=14 

Great source! Also has additional info on Lt Hans Wagenschein from IR 78, KIA 1918

not much, but some more info on Hptm W. Würtz

Die Presse, 17.1.1918

One of the Hoffmanns, Hptm Hoffmann from Bromberg

Die Presse, 16.1.1918

just a chance find, Waldeck is not very common: Unteroffizier Kurt Schwarz from IR 83 is listed in the Waldeck lists, though without first name:

From Die Presse, 19.5.1918

Another Schmidt, Major Georg Schmidt from IR 61. As I understand, this cannot be the Georg Schmidt who was commander of IR 82. 

From Die Presse, 28.5.1918 

This might be the same Schmidt, published by a different (his former?) regiment, but not sure. His career would have to be checked. 

Die Presse, 24.5.1918

yes, indeed the same one, confirmed here (Die Presse, 23.5.1918):

A first name: Lt dR Bernhard von Zaleski

From Die Presse, 20.6.1918

This might also be a new one: Lt W. Heck from Groß Czyste. 

From Die Presse, 3.7.1918 

This doesn't look like a new one at first, but it might still be: Olt Kurt Lange. Yes, we have the later GM Kurt Lange in the lists, but if I read correctly, he was not promoted to Olt until 1923.

From Die Presse, 26.7.1918

Here we have one of the Grassmanns (spelling might of course elsewhere be Graßmann): Hptm Konrad Grassmann from an FAR:

(and btw he seems to have a brother Curt, also FA Hptm)

From Die Presse, 1.9.1918

Now this is a weird one (Die Presse, 11.9.1918): ? 

Lt dR Bernhard von der Marwitz was submitted to HHOX, but no guarantee he got it:
