The Prussian

Hi Bernd!

Why not? Try it. I will help if I can

Hi Bernd!

Theproblem is, there a probably a coupe of officers with that name

If I have the title if the book, I can have a look inside, of course. But are you sure that is the man?

In which volume should he be mentioned?

I have the entire collection of those books

Hi Bernd!

Yes, Reserveofficers in peace time could get a higher rank. If they became officer during the war, it was possible too, but normaly they stayed with their Leutnant rank.

There were ranklists of 1917, 1918 and 1919, but they show only the active officers and they don´t have a name-index...

Hello Bernd!

When he was Lt.d.Res. in 1918, he probably did not serve in 1914.

The normal way was, he entered the war as volunteer, became Gefreiter > Vizefeldwebel d.Res. > Leutnant.

Here is his casualty list:

Hello Lew!

There is nothing special written...

Lieber Emil!

Besten Dank für Deine letzte(?) Karte. Ich bin auf einige Tage in Urlaub. Hoffe Dich aber bald wieder in Joht. (probably Johannisthal) zu treffen. Wann ich komme, weiß ich noch nicht genau. Es kommt darauf an, wie mein Urlaub genehmigt wird.

Auf ein baldiges Wiedersehen verbleibe ich mit herzlichen Grüßen, Dein Eugen

Dear Emil!

Thank you very much for your last card. I am on holiday for a few days. But hope to see you again soon in Joht. (probably Johannisthal) again soon. I don't yet know exactly when I'll be there. It depends on how my holiday is approved.

I look forward to seeing you again soon with best regards, Eugen

Düsseldorf 2.11.15

The card goes to:

Marineflieger

Emil Hasenkamp

Berlin

Johannisthal

Waldstraße 8 / Guillemot

A Guillemot lived in Waldstr.8. So Hasenkamp lived as a lodger with Guillemot (he was Kfm. = Kaufmann = salesman)

Johannisthal was the plaace of the Marine-Landflieger-Abteilung (Naval Land Aircraft Department)

Hasenkamp died in 1917:

Hello!

Bruno is possible. To me it could be Bruno Anesorg.

But he is unknown to me. Do we have any more infos indicating him as a soldier?

The Flieger-Obermaat could be Max Anesorge, missing in 1918:

Thank you!

That´s hard...

Above is "Zum freundlichen Gedenken" (in friendly remembrance), then it could be "Falkenau" (a small town in Saxony),

But unfortunately I can´t read the name. Is it military?

Hello!

Please show us the entire page. Another links like numbers and abbreviations could help to find the man more quickly.

Hi Steven!

You can show it here. I don´t know, if there is a site with your informations, but we have here a lot of german-speaking people, who can help you.

Add.

I found, that he was One-Year-volunteer from 1911-1912 in Inf.Rgt.13.

He joined the war as aspirant-officer in Inf.Rgt.57, was wounded twice (but I found him only once as Vizefeldwebel in 1914)

June 1916 he was company-leader of 2./57

It is Kurt Matthaei. He was president of the district Lüneburg since October 1934
