Wild Card Posted September 29, 2005 Posted September 29, 2005 Goss = FranzNerz = LotharSorry, nothing on Narr
Guest Rick Research Posted September 29, 2005 Posted September 29, 2005 There was a Paul Narr dR in BFAR 6 before the war but not an MMJO winner.
Dave Danner Posted September 29, 2005 Author Posted September 29, 2005 (edited) Thanks everyone. Oddly, I already had Narr. He is Gottfried Ritter von Narr. He was a Leutnant with 8. Feldartillerie-Regiment Prinz Heinrich von Preußen, assigned to Kampffl.Sch. OHL I, and killed in action on 18 October 1917 at Valenciennes. He is buried in Frasnoy (Nord) cemetery. He was born on 31 March 1893 in Würzburg. Given all of O'Connor's work, it's odd that not only could an MMJO Knight disappear into the woodwork, but that an aviator MMJO Knight could. If he is not on your list, I see three possibilities: (i) the lists are incomplete, (ii) he was stricken from the rolls or (iii) the Ehren-Rangliste incorrectly lists him as "Ritter von".

Dave Danner Posted September 29, 2005 Author Posted September 29, 2005 (edited) Also, there is apparently another Ritter von Müller besides the aviator Max. This one was a Leutnant in 1. Pionier-Bataillon and survived the war. Edited November 1, 2023 by Dave Danner fix diacritic
Rick Posted September 29, 2005 Posted September 29, 2005 (edited) FWIW, he is given in the Zickerick listing as compiled by von Eberhardt as just Ltn. Gottfried Narr, (not Ritter von). R. Edited September 29, 2005 by Rick
Guest Rick Research Posted September 30, 2005 Posted September 30, 2005 Gottfried Narr was most assuredly NOT an MMJO recipient-- in neither the "Virtuti Pro Patria" nor in the published roll.In April 1916 (page 127) he was plain old Gottfried Narr, holding MVO4X and EK2.It's simply a proofreading error in the Honor Rank List-- and part of what makes research a matter of checking, rechecking, and verifying. There are some hideous errors in Weimar Rank Lists, for instance-- one of which cost me an ID for 15 years because I checked 1926 and NOT also 1931. They goofed just like anybody else.
