    Chance find: a number of Finnish awards nicely together

    Not sure what this is: Oberzollkontrolleur Wölle? We have a H dL aD Wölle in the list, yes. 

    Or is that a mistake, should it read "without swords" rather? 

    From Münsterischer Anzeiger, 2.11.1918

    This might be a new one: Lt dR Stumpf from Bentheim

    From Münsterischer Anzeiger, 5.11.1918

     

    Just a thought: Any chance that this is the later Flak Oberst Paul Stumpf (born 1893)?
    In the 1914 RL, there is a Lt dR Stumpf in FAR 25.

    Another submitted one, Lt dR Walter Gumprich, but I understand they (almost?) never really received it (?).

    (Btw, seems to be a Jewish family.)

    You are very likely correct on his religious background - the Yad Vashem Shoah victims database lists quite a number of Gumprichs and several of them from Münster.

    Walter Gumprich was commissioned into RIR 67 on 22 March 1915. He was killed as a company commander in IR 30 on 30 September 1918 by Saint Quentin.

    Award date of 4th September 1918 does not match with the date of "Die Presse, 3.7.1918"

     

    Kind regards
