Glenn J Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 Chris, Andy, Franz v. Zychlinski may be a good candidate. Formerly a company commander in 5. GRzF, he was the "Führer" of the II. Bataillon of GGR 1. Regards Glenn
Chris Boonzaier Posted December 28, 2015 Author Posted December 28, 2015 Thanks Guys, another one nailed then.
Chris Boonzaier Posted January 4, 2016 Author Posted January 4, 2016 Hi, does anyone have any ideas? Thanks Chris
The Prussian Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 Hi Chris! Oberleutnant Freiherr v. Hadeln was later Hauptmann a.D. Her serevd in the Bezirkskommando Windhuk (Südwestafrika). The Rangliste 1914 shows him as Leutnant with the Patent 21.1.06 N2n. The signature must be Hauptmann (later Oberstleutnant a.D.) Strümpell in the Kommando der Schutztruppen im Reichs-Kolonialamt Berlin. Hauptmann Strümpell (Patent 21.1.09 Q2q) was awarded with: Roter-Adler-Orden mit Schwertren 4.Kl. Roter-Adler-Orden 4.Kl. mit Krone Kgl. Kronen-Orden 4.Kl. mit Schwertern Dienstauszeichnungskreuz Braunschweigischer Heinrich der Löwe-Orden Ritterkreuz 1.Kl. Ritter der französischen Ehrenlegion
Chris Boonzaier Posted January 4, 2016 Author Posted January 4, 2016 Hi, Muchos Grazias! Von Hadeln was an interesting guy.... http://www.kaiserscross.com/40029/150601.html Strümpell is the dude.... wonder how he got the Ehrenlegion ?
The Prussian Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 Hi Chris! Strümpell hadn´t been Ritter of the Ehrenlegion in the Rangliste 1909. I don´t have the 1910, but in the 1911 RL he was the Ritter and he served in the Schutztruppe for Cameroon. Probably he became Ritter for his work with his museum. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurt_Str%C3%BCmpell
Chris Boonzaier Posted January 7, 2016 Author Posted January 7, 2016 Another colonial... :-) I think I have shown this one before but have lost the answer... And another colonial...
The Prussian Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Hi Chris! In that era, Paul Behnke was chief of the "Marineleitung" ( https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Behncke ) But, under the signature stands "i.V." (in Vertretung = in place of). So we need a marine rank list from 1920...
arb Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Chris and Andy Ludwig Saxer, Kapt. z.S. and Chef d. St. d. Gouv. v. Kiatschou in 1914! Charakter als Kontreadmiral 30.01.1920. Andy
Chris Boonzaier Posted January 13, 2016 Author Posted January 13, 2016 I guess this is someone on the staff?
The Prussian Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 Hi Chris! The bav. RIR23 belonged to the bav.16.Res.Brig. (bav.8.Res.Div.) Commander of that brigade was from 12.4.17-27.8.18 Oberst Ernst d´Alleux (*1863, + 1945) The Ehrenrangliste listed him as Oberstleutnant in bav.5.Inf.Rgt. Last service: commander of bav.16.Inf.Brig. After the war Generalmajor a.D. Leutnant: 14.5.85 Oberleutnant: 8.2.94 Hauptmann: 19.9.00 Major: 7.3.09 Oberstleutnant: 10.10.13 Oberst: 30.11.14
Chris Boonzaier Posted January 14, 2016 Author Posted January 14, 2016 Hi, Muchos Grazias. Duh! I should have thought it would be one of the brigade commanders!
Chris Boonzaier Posted February 7, 2016 Author Posted February 7, 2016 This is a difficult one... from the Reichswehr time....
The Prussian Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 (edited) Hi Chris! It would be easier, if you wouldn´t have castrated the date. I can only read Dezember 19?? Edited February 7, 2016 by The Prussian
The Prussian Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 Ah, ok. Sorry, I can´t find him. I only have the lists until 1929
arb Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 Gentlemen, That is the signature of Werner Pinckvoß, later Gen.Lt. Andy
The Prussian Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 Oh yes, Andy! That makes sense! I thought, the last letter was a "y"... In the RL 1929, Major Pinckvoß was in that Abteilung! That fits!
Chris Boonzaier Posted March 10, 2016 Author Posted March 10, 2016 Hi, Any guesses here? Thanks Chris
arb Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) Chris, #122 is Dziobek. However, I can't tell you which one for certain (though I tend to think it was Otto from IR 162), as the Ehrenrangliste does not list any of them as having RIR 74 as a last command. Andy Edited March 10, 2016 by arb
Mattyboy Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) Hi all, Can anyone identify this man? Thanks, Matt. Edited March 10, 2016 by Mattyboy
