    1. Very interesting! The Maj von Wolff we had without first name so far. Some more info: This should be the Wilhelm Schroeder who received the HHOX as Hptm. OTL aD, born 1877 in Danzig, died 1931. From Paderborner Anzeiger, 17.12.1931.
    2. New first name Lt dR Josef Koch from Neuhaus. Judging from the publication date, this should be the Lt dR Koch from MGSSA 10. In that case, the other Lt dR Koch (from RIR 262) should be the Hugo whom we had before in this thread. From Paderborner Anzeiger, 13.8.1918
    3. Only an initial: Lt dR Lamberti is H. Lamberti from Hilden. From Ohligser Anzeiger, 21.9.1918 Two days later, another notice appeared in the same newspaper (with a typo!), according to which he was Zahnarzt. There was a Hans Lamberti who received his Dr. med. dent. from the University of Köln in 1921 (so might have studied before the war, but received his Dr. after). I find him as Zahnarzt in Düsseldorf-Mettmann in 1931.
    4. Very interesting! So this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Müller_(aviator) ? Died in München in 1964.
    5. Maybe we have him already, and there is no first name anyway: "young flyer Lt" Müller from Traar near Krefeld. From Ohligser Anzeiger, 5.7.1918
    6. Alexander Hammesfahr was born 10.5.1880 in Wald Kreis Solingen (ancestry). Couldn't find his death date, but he is in Berlin address books as Major aD until at least 1941.
    7. Lt dR Ohle is Paul Ernst Ohle, Studiendirektor. Was in Brigade Ehrhardt. Born 18.6.1894 in Marburg (ancestry). From NS-Volksblatt für Westfalen, 9.1.1934. Was recalled for WW2, ended it as Major dR. Died in 1980. More about him here: http://www.koenigin-mathilde-gymnasium.de/assets/kmg-geschichte-download.pdf
    8. Naughty Reichsgraf! Lefebvre does not seem to have been an active officer. There is only one that would remotely fit, the Lt Lefèvre from Unteroffz.schule Jülich (orig. IR 164), but he ended WW1 already as Hptm aD. In the VL (Aug 1918) however, I find a Lt dR Johann Lefebvre, born 19.8.XX in "Cöln". Only one who would fit. Maybe Glenn has more to say on this case.
    9. We have him already, but there is some more information: Lt dR Franz Berten: his notice was published very late, in the Niederrheinisches Tageblatt, 17.5.1919. Born 5.10.1895 in Hinsbeck Came back in WW2 KIA 24.8.1944 in Marseille as Major dR and Kdr Marine-Festungspionier-Bataillon 360 (acc. to Lohmann/Hildebrand)
    10. Erich Sellke is Erich Georg Conrad Christian Sellke, born 1888 in Zippnow, died 1974 in Köln: http://elizabethriemer.com/getperson.php?personID=I00259&tree=tree1 (includes a photo)
    11. Major aD Joseph Freiherr von Wendt-Papenhausen (in our list without Papenhausen) died in 1944. From Westfälische Tageszeitung: Münsterländische Volkszeitung, 18.10.1944
    12. Oberst aD Hermann Krome died in 1943. From Westfälische Tageszeitung: Münsterländische Volkszeitung, 10.2.1943
    13. Amtsgerichtsrat Edmund Mierzinsky, Hptm dR, died in 1943. From Westfälische Tageszeitung: Münsterländische Volkszeitung, 10.2.1943
    14. Dr. Paul Derlin (in our list as Martin) died as Oberfeldarzt in 1942: From Westfälische Tageszeitung: Münsterländische Volkszeitung, 22.10.1942 We might have had him before: Wilhelm-Bruno Wiebecke died as OTL in 1942. From Westfälische Tageszeitung: Münsterländische Volkszeitung, 24.12.1942
    15. After quite a while, this should be an entirely new one: OTL Reinhard Reichsgraf von Merveldt, from 1. GzF. Born 1870 in Salzkotten. From Westfälische Tageszeitung: Münsterländische Volkszeitung, 5.7.1942
    16. Benno von Quernheim died 1931. Born 1889: https://www.geni.com/people/Benno-Freiherr-von-Quernheim/6000000026955356393
    17. There is definitely a typo here: this should be Hptm dR Max/Maximilian Gabriel, FAR 22 (later 51), from Eslohe. Born 23.5.XX acc. to VL. Münsterischer Anzeiger, 18.7.1918.
    18. Lt Willeke from MGSSA is Fritz Willeke from Münster. (Deiters we already had.) Münsterischer Anzeiger, 20.6.1918.
    19. Olt/Lt dR Scholten is Konrad, from Bocholt. The Grothues from GFAR is Bernhard, from Liesborn. (And there is a Finnish Medal of Liberty to Vizefeldwebel Karl Lünnemann.) Münsterischer Anzeiger, 4.6.1918.
    20. Hptm dL Nagel from RIR 240 is Oskar Friedrich Theodor Nagel. In VL 1915 wounded as Hptm dL in LIR 17. Born 6.9.1875 in Neuenkirchen. Postdirektor in Bocholt. Died in a hospital in Hannover as Major on 2.2.1942. From Münsterischer Anzeiger, 28.8.1917. Hans Lefebvre: Not in our HHOX list, but is this maybe a Princely one? Death notice from Münsterischer Anzeiger, 5.1.1945.
    21. Hptm Lobeck is Fritz Lobeck, originally from FAR 43. Born 26.11.1876 in Königsberg, according to VL. In ERL as Major aD. From Münsterischer Anzeiger, 15.9.1917.
    22. Lt dR Urbach from RIR 16 is most probably Kurt Urbach. He is in VL 1915 as Offz.Stellv. in RIR 16, and in August 1918 as Lt dR (without unit listed), born 29.12.XX in Militsch.
