    Hi everybody,

    Please find 2 documents of this officer who served as a Leutnant in KB 8IR and during the war he served in KB 9IR and in after was transfered in aviation. Have a look. The first one is the Prince Luitpold document.

    This officer received pre and during the war the following medals:

    EK2

    BMVO4bX

    PL

    He probably received the EK1, and like he was transfered in Flieger Abetilung and like he was not recorded as a fighter pilot, I think he received the Beobachterabz. If someone has got more info I will be happy. Thanks for your help.

    You have a 1918 Bayern Rangliste? I did not know that it existed. Would you post a scan of the title page? Does the RL show wartime awards?

    Paul,

    the Rangliste der Offiziere der k?niglich Bayerischen Armee 1918 is not rare and fairly easy to pick up. It does however only list Bavarian awards. It is more akin to a Dienstaltersliste or seniority list as opposed to the pre war editions of the Bavarian Military Handbook. A 1917 edition was also published.

    Regards

    Sorry Paul,

    I have made copy 8 years ago and the original book haven't got the title page. flame

    This book with Milit?r Handbuch from 1913 give me more complete records. I complete with Ehrenranglisten from 1926.

    Glenn, if you have got more info about this Bavarian officer, thanks for your help.

    Regards

    The ribbon bar :

    BMVO4bX

    EK2

    BZ3bX
