Looking for information on Leutnant dR of FAR10

[webr55]

I have some pictures of a relative, Leutnant dR Erich Beutnagel (1894-1966) of FAR 10. He was commissioned sometime during WW1, probably rather 1917/18. Any chance of finding his commission date?

Here are the pictures. He is still Sergeant/Vizefw. on the first one:

He belonged to the battery of FAR 10 that was stationed in Wolfenbüttel, Duchy of Braunschweig. Here he is as Leutnant dR with EK1 and 2. There is a second ribbon in his buttonhole, I guess it is the Ernst August Cross.

Hi webr55,

I have not found a commissioning date for him prior to January 1917. Another Beutnagel died as a Leutnant d.R. in R.I.R 73.

Thanks a lot for looking! I have now looked into the regimental history of FAR 10. The first time that he is listed as Lt dR is in a ranklist from 3.8.1918.
