A bavarian general - who is he ?

[Robert Noss]

Fresh from todays fleamarket - 2 hours ago in a box of old postcards - now on your screen

Who is that general ?

The next photo is dated July 1914

On this photo he is far left

a closer look from the photo before

I am quite sure he is on that photo too, parade 1909

Also a closer look, but here I am not 100 % sure

I hope it is one of the easy jobs for you imperial guys to give him a name, a bit of his history, what medals has he got, what happened to him ?

Kind regards

Robert

P.S.: They were really cheap

I believe your arrow points to Konig Ludwig III of Bavaria in your parade photo. Perhaps your guy is the general with the neck order 2nd from the left of the baton toting general...

Dave,

I agree that that must be Ludwig III. The guy with the baton is GFM Prinz Leopold v. Bayern.

Well, okay. Old men with beards all look the same.

Hello Robert,

I would love to find out what the medals/orders are that he is wearing... because it is the same configuration of a general's uniform that I have...

Any chance that you can e-mail me larger pictures of the first two pictures ?

Cheers

Mark
