    Recommended Posts

    Chance find: a number of Finnish awards nicely together

    Second one: Lt zS Bruno Blank

    From Arnsberger Zeitung, Okt 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.) 

    From Münsterischer Anzeiger, 9.10.1918

    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.

    There is just one possible Heinemann,

    no first name, no unit

    Reserve Captain

     

    HOH3X published in the Staatsanzeiger 27.07.18 / Milit?rwochenblatt 24.08.18

     

    Might that be the right one?

    This might also be a new one: Lt W. Heck from Groß Czyste. 

    From Die Presse, 3.7.1918

    Is it the same Heck??

    Heck.thumb.jpg.6d71fbd46eb0570c54cc5ad19c271eee.jpg

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

     

    Kind regards
