next high ranking medical officer?

[Komtur]

Another one for Rick or for Daniel?

It is only a photocopy and I had to cut the poor fellow in the right size. But everything important is to be seen. As oral information it is a medical person.

For me unusual: The Kombination of relatively low REO3bow and high HOH Komtur with star (rarrrrrrre and one of my favorites!).

Greetings, Komtur.

19th century is too early for me!

Hi Komtur,

I have that photograph somewhere at home possibly in the Zeitschrift f?r Heereskunde. I will look for him on Staurday if nobody identifies him first!

In fact I think it may well be Friedrich von Esmarch.

Another case, where orders tell a story . When I wondered: for me unusual the Kombination of relatively low REO3bow and high HOH Komtur with star, I had no clue who it is. But that high ranking House Order of Hohenzollern is the explanation. Esmarch was married with Prinzessin Henriette von Schleswig-Holstein of the House Sonderburg-Augustenburg, she was the aunti of Kaiserin Auguste married with the Kaiser! For his civil and also military merit (he was Generalarzt too) he was only in a rank to get something like a REO3, but as a kind of uncle for the Kaiser he got a high class of the familiy order.

Greetings, Komtur.
