Do we have him already: Hauptmann Vüllers, IR 53.

From: 
5. Westf. Infanterie-Regiment Nr 53 im Weltkrieg 1914-1918, Sporn 1939. 

What about Hauptmann Kaiser from IR 158?

Georg Knauff is already on the list I think:

Hi webr55, 

K. Witzel is a new name, me to at least. The newspaper announcements are helpful because they sometimes provide first names or background info. 

[webr55]

Exactly! Even if we already have the name, there is often a lot of new information. 

Do we have Hauptmann Buddeke already, active on the Turkish front? From Geisenheimer Zeitung, 5.8.1916. 

 

[webr55]

Again, we have him already I think, but still: Olt Hans Clausen, from Jenaer Volksblatt, 1. September 1918 

[Mattyboy]

Buddecke's name does not appear in the MAWB, but he does show up in the Staatsanzeiger. Here is an interesting one to Fritz-Otto Bernert. It's the first time I have seen his name in connection with the Hamburger Hanseatenkreuz. 

 

Thanks for the first name of Clausen! There were two men with this name and rank in the Saxon SR 108. Until now I didn't know whether it was the aviator Hans who was the recipient. Now you have confirmed it!

Lt dR Oswald Hoffmann, and Rittm dR Arnold Hoffmann (the latter death notice is from 1935)

Such an amazing project to lift all these brave men from oblivion ?

[webr55]

Do we have Rittmeister dR Carl Meister (1888-1962) yet?

This is his death notice from Baltische Studien 1962:

These are probably not new, since all from Navy. From Schlesische Zeitung, 13. April 1918:

Death notice, much later, from "Der Führer", 18. April 1944:

Hugo Zimmermann

Hi,

I want to be sure, you are not talking about Leutnant Hans Clausen from FA 230 and who served in the FR 108 ?
