dwmosher Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Any information on a Major v. Luck with Dragoner-Regt. Konig (2. Wurttemberg) Nr. 26 would be appreciated. I believe he is shown as a Bhfs.Kdtr 5/XIII in the "Wiederverwendete Inactive Offizier" list in the 14-18 Honor Roll.Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwmosher Posted October 19, 2006 Author Share Posted October 19, 2006 I was able unpack some boxes to locate my 1912 Rangliste and found that Rittmeister v. Luck of DR 26 had only two decorations at that time, shortly before he retired: Mecklenburg Griffin Order knight's badge w/ crown and Sachsen-Weimar White Falcon Order knight's badge 2nd class.Am I wrong, or is this a strange combination for a Wurttemberger?? I also noticed that almost every officer in the regiment above the rank of leutnant had at least a Mecklenburg Griffin Order knight's badge (and even a couple of leutnants had them). What is the tie or association between DR 26 and Mecklenburg?Lastly, what does the abbreviation "Bhfs. Kdtr 5 / XIII", knowing that XIII is the Wurttemberg army corps?ThanksDave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn J Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Dave,not sure about the Mecklenburg connection at this time but "Bhfs. Kdtr 5 / XIII" would be the abbreviation for Bahnhofs Kommandantur. RegardsGlenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwmosher Posted October 20, 2006 Author Share Posted October 20, 2006 Thanks, Glenn. I presume he was some sort of re-tread administrator, but isn't a Bahnhof a railway station? What would his duties be and what does the 5 signify?Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
