Deruelle Posted June 20, 2005 Author Posted June 20, 2005 A focus of the medal bar and of the shoulderboards
Stogieman Posted June 20, 2005 Posted June 20, 2005 Christophe, I did not realize we were battling for this.... It's an outstanding photograph. One of the nicest SHRK portraits I have seen in a very long time!

Bob Hunter Posted June 20, 2005 Posted June 20, 2005 Congratulations! What a remarkable photograph now with an ID thanks to El Magnifico.
Deruelle Posted June 20, 2005 Author Posted June 20, 2005 Hi, Sorry Rick V flame Next time I will be more prudent before bidding. I have now some photos with SH3. I love this photo with WF3a, this is why I have bought it.Like always, the great Rick L has won the battle with identify the officer. He knows he's the best and he knows he will stay the best :food-smiley-004: MerciChristophe
Deruelle Posted June 20, 2005 Author Posted June 20, 2005 Another photo of officer with Saxon trio. To Rick V, have a nice look RegardsChristophe
Guest Rick Research Posted June 20, 2005 Posted June 20, 2005 Haha! Everybody sing the "It's A Small World After All" song---here is Generalleutnant Alfred M?ller's OTHER CHEEK from my collection via His Evilness! He has left off all that Prussian... stomache clutter in my photo! [attachmentid=4685]and here's his medal bar from the shoulder end:[attachmentid=4686]It's a small, small, world.... :food-smiley-004:
Glenn J Posted June 20, 2005 Posted June 20, 2005 No wonder I did not recognize him from this earlier mugshot RegardsGlenn[attachmentid=4690] :food-smiley-004:
Deruelle Posted June 20, 2005 Author Posted June 20, 2005 3 differents photos of the same officer. What a great day.Christophe
Guest Rick Research Posted June 20, 2005 Posted June 20, 2005 jumping jumping jumping Odd, because most people think they have a "good side" and tend to strike the same pose for photos year after year... I guess M?ller didn't HAVE a "good side!" So Christophe, who is the skinny guy with the four medal bar? What does HIS shoulder board tell us? :coola:
Deruelle Posted June 20, 2005 Author Posted June 20, 2005 Rick, The only things I know he is one Oberleutnant, but I can't read the numbers. Please find one focus (the best I can do, sorry ).May be it will help you, I hope.RegardsChristophe
Stogieman Posted June 20, 2005 Posted June 20, 2005 You have forced me to retaliate! Now, who can name this fellow? I have a large group of photos surrounding a visit he made in France at some point.... came in 2 lots, from 2 different sellers but obviously all belonging together! The Evil One was able to narrow this down to only 11 possible candidates....... but that's as far as we were able to chase him!
Bob Hunter Posted June 21, 2005 Posted June 21, 2005 It appears that generals were given considerable latitude in prescribing their own uniforms. The custom continues.
Deruelle Posted October 3, 2009 Author Posted October 3, 2009 Hi, New addition today about Major Zschiedrich. In fact, there is a mistake. This is not our man. Today I received same photo with name written on the back. Major Alfred Karl Ernst Graß from I.R Nr. 105. Born 16.9.1874. He received SH3 (26.5.1915), Kr z. SA3aX (15.7.1916), SA3aX (3.7.1915), WF3a (18.3.1914) and CM (1897). This is a great day for the research Christophe
Deruelle Posted October 3, 2009 Author Posted October 3, 2009 Generalmajor Kurt von Holleben (1862-1941) In the Roth's book there is no mention of SA2X about von Holleben, but photo shows one. :catjava:
Guest Rick Research Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 Ollllllllllllllllllllllllld thread--- 2005. Since that Long Ago Time, of course we have now seen that Major Z got the SMK, removing him as a s uspect. :cheers:
Thierry Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 Bonjour, A other Saxon officer Walter JUNGNICKEL Crdl Thierry
Deruelle Posted October 9, 2009 Author Posted October 9, 2009 Major von Kirchbach. Note that he wore the Bavarian medal without swords before the Wurttember knight cross with X of the Crown Order. Very strange Christophe
