Rittmeister Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Can anybody provide any more informations regarding this man? He was born 1879 in Ostpreu?en. Served as an officer for 12 years in the alte Heer and thus participated in World War I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Dwyer Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 The only thing I can add is there is only one Nobach listed in the 1914 Prussian army ranklist. He is a Hauptmann d. Reserve in Gro?herzoglich Mecklenburgisches Grenadier-Regiment Nr.89. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps Glenn J or someone that can always find out a person's entire life history can add more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn J Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 There is a problem with the Grenadier-Regiment Nr. 89 Nobach. This individual was commissioned as a Sekonde-Lieutenant der Reserve on 14.2.93. With a birthdate of 1879 it cannot possibly be the same guy unless the birthdate is wrong.....perhaps 1869??Another Nobach (Leutnant Patent of 16.8.07 K5k) briefly served in Infanterie-Regiment Keith (1. Oberschlesisches) Nr. 22 in 1907/1908 leaving the army with a view to emigrating on 18 October 1908. Serving in WW1 he was promoted to Oberleutnant a.D. on 14.4.15 while serving with R.I.R. Nr. 207. But again the birthdate would have made him rather old on first commissioning.RegardsGlenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was 28 years old when commissioned, that is indeed rather old. He went to a Kadettenanstalt. Are these the only two Nobachs to be found? Since the searched Nobach was not a professional soldier I think the second one Glenn found must be the right one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
