... and Flach died in 1939:

This will probably be the most promising focus for the last meters of our project to find missing HHOX awardees: career officers who got the HHOX in October or November 1918, not listed in Staatsanzeiger or MWB, and probably, at least in a number of cases, not even mentioned in newspapers, for various reasons. Some newspapers just stopped reporting awards, for example.
And we have to be clear: the list will never be fully complete, some just will not be found. The project has to be finalized at some point, though.
Westerberg is Fritz, from Essen.

"Krägelow" is Franz Krägeloh from Essen.

Very interesting! I don't think we had him yet!

That looks very interesting! We have an Olt dR Arthur Ungewitter (born 1895) so far, but no Max. Can you read the HHOX award date?
Ungewitter was promoted Lw Oberst in 1942/43, but the Luftwaffe sources that I have do not mention his HHOX.

New first name (last name a bit hard to read): Lt dR August Nocke from Hochlarmark. Acc. to VL born 19.10.XX in Eickel.
Gelsenkirchener Allgemeine Zeitung, 22.5.1918
This must be an error: Offz-Stellv. Robert Heibert certainly had the Golden MMC, but he cannot have had an HHOX.

Just looking at the text, I would take "nicht abzulegen" to mean you could indeed WEAR both of them. In the sense of "you can keep them both on your bar, you don't have to take them off it".

Wilhelm II and the Crown Prince got the Royal Victorian Chain, quite special.

Originally posted in Imperial, but maybe this is the more appropriate place here:
This picture was sold to me as showing a Lt dR Beitz (left) - but I was more interested in Mr Monocle (right): Am I totally wrong or is this a photo of the later GFM Model as Oberst, taken between 1934 and 1938? Also, this would be one of the very few pictures I have seen that show Model wearing a ribbon bar.
I see some small problems however with this being Model:
- his wound badge seems to be black, but Model had the white one.
- the ribbon bar looks slightly different, I don't see a HHOX for example, but with the light it is hard to tell.
But if this is not Model, then it must be a (quite lookalike) Oberst between 1935 and 1939 (certainly future general) with a wound badge, monocle and exactly that number of awards (including WM LS awards).

We had him already, but some new info: Werner Calov, born 28.03.1880, was from Pioniere.
(Hemersche Zeitung, 26.4.1917)
He made Polizei-Oberst around 1930: http://recherche.landesarchiv.sachsen-anhalt.de/Query/detail.aspx?ID=93459
