Hi Igor, born 1887, died 1972. At the outbreak of the war "Starshi Leitenant" aboard SMS Dresden, as Kapit?nleutnant he commanded U 63, went in retirement as characterized Korvettenkapit?n. Awards as I know are the plm, Hohenzollern House Order knight with swords, U-boat-badge and the Freikorps Loewenfeld cross. Best regards Daniel

short lesson in Ranklist speech: SF (normally in Imperial GSF) Gro?herzoglich S?chsischer Falkenorden. The G for Gro?herzoglich came out of use in the Reichsheer Ranklists from 1918 up. 1= Grand cross 2a= Commander with star 2b= Commander 3a= knight 1st cl. 3b= knight 2nd cl. X= swords Best regards Daniel

I would say NO. Feldwebelleutnants were Officers, and so not eligible for the MVK. If there are Feldwebelleutnants listed wiht a MVK I?m sure they received it for an action still done as NCO. There are even 4 (if I remember exactly) FwLt who received the Hohenzollern knights cross with swords. Best regards Daniel

Hi, niiice bar!!!! I cannot 100% confirm that is IS Schoelers bar, but I have a good feeling. Problem is, there are no other ways to confirm it tham by a portrait with THIS bar in wear. All his known WW1 awards were around the neck: RAO 2nd class with Oakleaves, star and swords Princely Hohenzollern, Honorary Commanders Cross with swords Bavarian Military Merit Order 2nd class with swords Saxon Albert commander with star and swords W?rttemberg Frederick Commader with star and swords Baden Z?hringer L?we commander with star and swords Best regards Daniel

Hi friends, some words from me according the rolls. Paul is asking how it will look like. The ?Roth style? was date, name, firs name (if available in the original roll), Rank, unit (if available in the original roll). The new ?Rick and Daniel style? will be Name, first name, rank, unit, date, remarks like later promotion to General rank or remarks to other awards, birth and death year. A word about the time. Roughly I need some seconds to transcribe an award entry and additional 10 minutes for the added thing which are NOT in the roll. W?rttemberg will have around 23.000 name entries, so count around 3.800 hours! W?rttemberg: I did the MVO and Crown Order with swords, Frederick with swords, golden military merit medal, Merit cross with swords, Wilhelmscross with swords. Big help came from Uwe Bretzendorfer and Werner Nickel. Whats new, I noted everything according the insane W?rttemberg return policy. And I did non-W?rttemberg awards given to Members of the W?rttemberg Army in WW1. Ernestinian duchies: As Rick already noted, we combine all 3 in one volume. Altenburg ? done by the late Erhard Roth, is re-done and improved by me, Coburg and Gotha is done ? more or less Meiningen is done ? more or less. In the next weeks I plan to go to all Ernestinian archives to see if anything else survived. Weimar: I?m expecting 2 last copies from the archives and we will be ready. I will not speculate now for future plans like a re-done Royal Hohenzollern roll or a re-done Saxon roll before we finish the actual projects. Reu? and Schwarzburg rolls are there in the archives. I will go there next weeks to see?? Best regards Daniel

Hi Chris, I would guess Adolf Frhr.v.B?low, born 1870, died 1944, 1914 Major in IR 31, retired as LtCol from IR 159. Other awards: Red Eagle 4, Saxon Albert knight 2nd class, Weimar falcon knight 1st class where he got the swords to the cross as only other WW1 award I know at the moment. Best regards Daniel
