Born 5.10.1895 in Hinsbeck Came back in WW2 KIA 24.8.1944 in Marseille as Major dR and Kdr Marine-Festungspionier-Bataillon 360 (acc. to Lohmann/Hildebrand) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Krause Posted July 28, 2022 Author Share Posted July 28, 2022 Thanks a lot my friends! Great stuff! Lefebvre - no idea... there was no HEK for him. If he was an active Officer in WW1, there might be a chance that he is one of the few we are still missing. v.Merveldt - indeed a HEK, 3rd class with crown and swords. All the best, Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the best, Daniel Naughty Reichsgraf! Lefebvre does not seem to have been an active officer. There is only one that would remotely fit, the Lt Lefèvre from Unteroffz.schule Jülich (orig. IR 164), but he ended WW1 already as Hptm aD. In the VL (Aug 1918) however, I find a Lt dR Johann Lefebvre, born 19.8.XX in "Cöln". Only one who would fit. Maybe Glenn has more to say on this case.

webr55 Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Maybe we have him already, and there is no first name anyway: "young flyer Lt" Müller from Traar near Krefeld. From Ohligser Anzeiger, 5.7.1918 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soderbaum Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Hi webr55 The young Flieger-Leutnant Müller is rather certain Lt dR Hans Müller who have scored his 5th victory in late May 1918. However he was born 03.07.1896 in Etzel, Wittmund. He ended up with 12 victories until EOW. He is tricky to find in Post-War sources as he changed his name to Hans/Hanns Garrelt. During WW2 he served as Major dR. He was Dr, Dipl.Ing and lived in München during 1930s. Gunnar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webr55 Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 (edited) Only an initial: Lt dR Lamberti is H. Lamberti from Hilden. From Ohligser Anzeiger, 21.9.1918 Two days later, another notice appeared in the same newspaper (with a typo!), according to which he was Zahnarzt. There was a Hans Lamberti who received his Dr. med. dent. from the University of Köln in 1921 (so might have studied before the war, but received his Dr. after). I find him as Zahnarzt in Düsseldorf-Mettmann in 1931. Edited July 31, 2022 by webr55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webr55 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 New first name Lt dR Josef Koch from Neuhaus. Judging from the publication date, this should be the Lt dR Koch from MGSSA 10. In that case, the other Lt dR Koch (from RIR 262) should be the Hugo whom we had before in this thread.

coburg22 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Hello, I have a book that lists the recipients of this award, as well as others. Can someone please tell me if the awards are identical when awarded by the Prussian Government under Kaiser Wilhelm II and also under the Princely House Order? I have recipients that list one or the other, and have read that while Kaiser took over the House of Hohenzollern, that awards were also given under the Princely House itself?

Dave Danner Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 (edited) There were differences in the design (including the coat of arms and the motto) and the naming of the different classes. The statute ribbon was, I believe, the same, but for the Royal House Order, as with other Prussian orders like the Red Eagle and Crown Orders, awards with swords were typically made on the Iron Cross ribbon (this is a simplification - the variations in Prussian orders is a book in itself).
