JapanX Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 (edited) Seems odd to award both men A short note from Russian newspaper "Russian Word", December, 30, 1904 (January 12, 1905 by the new style) BERLIN, December, 29, 1904 (January 11) Emperor Wilhelm awarded generals Stessel and Nogi with order "pour le merite" in token of their bravery and heroism during Port Arthur siege. Emperor made a request by telegraph to His Emperor Majesty and mikado asking them to give their consent to this awarding. БЕРЛИН, 29-го декабря, 1904 (11-го января) Император Вильгельм пожаловал генералам Стесселю и Ноги в знак внимания к их храбрости и героизму во время осады Порт-Артура орден "pour le merite" ("За заслуги").

Bernhard H.Holst Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 Hello: Attached picture and comment is from the WW I regimental history of Inf.Rgt. (1.Hann.) Nr. 74 and shows Hptm.(later Major) Reichenbach, commander of I./Inf.Rgt.74 and recipient of the Pour le Merite with date of April 21,1918. He distinguished himself and the troops under his command during the March, 1918 German offensive when the Somme River and canal was crossed. The collar insignia seem to indicate Freikorps service following the end of the war. Bernhard H. Holst
