Good stuff!

There was a Lt d.R. Kolkmann with the HOH3X, published May 1918, but thats most likely another one.

OLt d.R. Weil must be a new one.

Hptm Edgar Wulf was from FAR 99:

 

Vossische Zeitung, 7.11.1918

Ok, this is not HHOX, but could this be a new addition to the White Falcon rolls?

Lt dR Kurt Leitholf

What an amazing story. This Major Ritgen must have been in his late 40/ early 50 minimum. Is there an overview of his career? And that of his father

[Daniel Krause]

Wow!

@ Matty, Müller, Hans - I have "only" a EK1 and the Baden Zähringer Löwe for him.

@ Webr, Leitholf - indeed a new GSF3bX! Among the native Weimar guys, quite a lot of the GSF3bX are missing in the roll. Bressem - indeed new!

@ Komtur, thats a new one! Thanks!

 

Best,

Daniel

This might be a spectacular new one: 

Former officer from GrenR 5, later (relatively) famous actor Will (Wilhelm) Dohm
