    Data for the three Lauteschlägers from ancestry: 

     

    Reinhard Karl Eduard, 1872-1953 (in Heppenheim), OTL aD

    Friedrich Rudolf, born 1874, last found in Adressbuch Darmstadt 1960/61 (after that, his widow), Oberregierungsrat aD

    The Lt dR Bodo Schmidt on page 36 of this thread is probably the man listed in the MWB dated 20.10.1917. His name appears in the Saale Zeitung on this very date. He also appears on the 06.11.1917 publication, along with a new first name - Lt dR Franz Weise (MWB 03.11.1917).

    Your Gerhard is Heinrich Ludwig Adolf Gerhard (born 6. August 1881 in Harburg), his father was Generalleutnant z. D. Friedrich Otto Ferdinand Freiherr von Ledebur (1848--1916).

     

    Do you happen to know in which regiment he served during the war? Since 18 August 1899 I have him as Sekondeleutnant in the Westfälisches Jäger-Bataillon Nr. 7. But with the Rangliste 1902 he had moved to the reserves.

    Hptm Jacobsen (MWB 12.06.1917) is Georg Robert Paul (17.06.1885) son of Prof Dr Johannes & Pauline Jacobsen. From the Saale Zeitung dated 19.06.1917. Later Major aD. I'm not sure of his pre-war regiment, but it might have been FAR 71. His father died serving with LIR 28 in 1915.

    Might be a first name for our Lt dR Mackh from FußArtBat 94: Wilhelm Mackh, mayor of Gummersbach from 1933-45. Word of caution: It says "Hohenzollernorden", which might be different things.

     

    Bergische Wacht, 28.10.1933
