...on the trench

Did you get them together from the recipient family, or once removed?

Hi Claudius,

Excuse my bad english but I don´t understood clearly what do you mean

Anyway I´ll tell you about it.

This orders were gained by the great grandfather of my grandfather, who wrote in 1965 (in a Family Chronik) about it:

As you see , he related about a visit of Czar Nicholas I to Bavaria in 1838, and the concession of the St. Stanislaus … but nothing about the St. Anna, maybe he didn´t know it. Is it possible to search about it in Germany ?

Regards

Let me show you the picture who sent me Fritz Bronner from California.

Excuse the bad quality. I took the pictures with the scanner.

I´ll try to post it again with real photos.

That´s my St. Anna Order.

Hello,

Russian orders are always quite beatiful!

... and with his familiy. The same day.

My grandfather in 1917 as a Fahnenjunker (german militar cadet) of a Bavarian Chevauleger Reg.

Gentlemen,

to begin with, sorry for my bad english!

It´s a pleasure to find somebody interested in the Chevaulegers Regiments of the kingdom of Bayern (Bavaria). My german grandfather served as a leutnant in one of them during WW1 (the Kgl. Bayer. 2. Chevaulegers-Regt. Taxis) as you can see (if I´m capable enough to do it) in the avatar´s picture.

After searching everywhere I found a person in Germany who helped me to find a lot of information about him:

“Hallo Herr Ceno,

ich habe ihren Großvater gefunden, und zwar in der Offiziersliste des königlich bayerischen 2 Chevauleger-Regiments Taxis.

Dort steht:

Freiherr Karl Rudolf von Stengel

1. Mai 1917 Fahnenjunker beim Ersatz-Depot des 2.Chevauleger-Regiments

15. November versetzt zur 2. Eskadron

30. März 1918 Führer ???

27./28. Mai 1918 Verwundet (an anderer Stelle steht verwundet als Fähnrich am 31. Mai 1918)

10. Juni 1918 versetzt zum Ersatz-Depot

16. September befördert zum Leutnant

10. Okt. Versetzt zur 2. Eskadron

21. Mai 1919 Abschied unter Überführung zu den Reseve-Offizieren Leutnant a.D.

Kriegsauszeichnungen:

Bay. Militär-Verdienstorden 4. Klasse

Eisernes Kreuz 2. Klasse

Verwundeten Abzeichen”

I want to give away to my mother a portrait of his father (my grandfather) wearing a leutnant´s Chevauleger uniform of 1918. In the photo he wears the Chevauleger´s Waffenrock but I´m not sure about the color. Please, have a look at this page,,, do you think it is correct?

I need a lot of information to begin …

I also found in the Web:

http://www.kaisersbunker.com/gtp/New/chev0.htm

Kgl. Bayer. 2. Chevaulegers-Regt. Taxis

(Regensburg) III Bayerisches Armee Korps

Collar/Cuffs/Straps : Wine Red

Buttons : Silver

Bayern Wappen : Silver Bayern Wappen (in the Pickelhaube, I think...)

Did they wear in 1918 the Pickelhaube?

What about the sable?

Any information will be welcomed.

Regards from Spain
