Guest Rick Research Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 AND you have his ribbon bar!!!! His HHOX was gazetted in the Milit?r-Wochenblatt 14 August 1917-- 17 days after it was actually bestowed.
Deruelle Posted July 13, 2005 Author Posted July 13, 2005 Not the big, but the only small ribbon bar with 6 ribbons. When I bought this group, following documents are missing : Hohenzollern, Brunswick and both iron crosses, thant's life I hope to recreate with new ribbons the medal bar. For that, I have to find the BrH3b (may be one day).Christophe
Glenn J Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 Hi Christophe,very interesting to see so much detail on a Reserve Officer. Here is his entry in the 1905/1906 "Rangliste der Offiziere des Beurlaubtenstabdes".RegardsGlenn
Deruelle Posted July 13, 2005 Author Posted July 13, 2005 Great Glenn, thanks a lot I have found his born paper in Eupen'Archiv, now in Belgium. If someone has got more info about this officer, I will be so happy. Christophe
Glenn J Posted July 14, 2005 Posted July 14, 2005 Hi Christophe,whilst the extract above shows his Oberleutnent patent as 18.6.03 Z4z, the 1902 edition also gives his full Leutnant Patent - 27.1.94 F7f. At that time he was living at B?lowstra?e 32 a III, Berlin.A more famous reserve officer also commissioned on the 27.1.94 was Walter Bloem, the novelist and author of amongst other works "Vormarsch", translated into English as "The advance from Mons".RegardsGlenn
