Found Paul Stoermer's death notice in the Ostpreußenblatt, Nov 1962:

The Hptm Stoermer, who received the HHOX around May/ early June 1918, is either the 1914 Olt from FußAR 1, Maj aD, or the 1914 Lt from FußAR 20, Hptm aD. Maybe it can be determined from their promotions who would fit.

Just now, webr55 said:So he was not an officer when WW1 broke out - but still he made Oberlt before the end of the war? Now I’m surprised.

Olt dR Brüser from RFußAR 3 is Joseph Brüser from Halbhusten.

Ok - Karl Melior would have been the other candidate. Thanks!
About Querbach/er: mystery. I also had thought about a misspelled Fraktur writing of "Auerbach", but for Paul Auerbach, nothing really fits, neither rank, nor date nor first name. No idea what was going on here.

The Hptm dR Melior from RFAR 56 might have been Dr. Otto Melior. Originally from FAR 25, Gerichtsassessor (later Amtsgerichtsrat) in Darmstadt. Born 1886, Dr. jur. from Univ. Heidelberg in 1912, alive after 1945.
Would need confirmation for his first name, but there was only one Melior in the 1914 RL.

This one is a bit of a mystery to me: Olt Josef Querbacher. From Rheinische Volksstimme, 29.6.1918.
I think the name must be "Querbach", there are several with that name in the region, but no "Querbacher".
He is not in VL. There, the only ones that come close to officers are an Offz.Stellv. Peter Querbach from Camp/St. Goarshausen, from RPiBat 39 (wounded in Oct 1915), and a VizeFw Wilhelm Querbach from Mombach/Mainz, born 1890 (wounded in Aug 1917).
Glenn, do you have any patents for a Querbach or Querbacher?

Ribbon bar of Generalleutnant Alfred von Besser
in Germany: Imperial: The Orders, Decorations and Medals of The Imperial German States
Posted
I have had this bar for many years, but only now found out what the last ribbon is: It is not, as Rick thought long ago, a regimental medal. It is the Dutch 1901 Wedding Medal (Huwelijksmedaille, https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huwelijksmedaille_1901) for the Wedding of Queen Wilhelmina and Prince Hendrik of Mecklenburg-Schwerin. Besser, then OTL, must have been a guest at the wedding, which makes additional sense since he had a connection to Mecklenburg and several of their awards.
