The Prussian Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 (edited) Hello! Never heard such a name... but it seems so. I also read Metgengerder. Here is a photo of that unit. Note the arm patch "FL67"! Edited September 11, 2016 by The Prussian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattyboy Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 (edited) Hi guys, Thanks for your efforts. I thought it might have been Metzengerder or Metzengerdes. So very similar to your interpretations. Hi all, I have just found a Lt dR Friedrich-August Metjengerdes, born 20.3.1884 in Waddewarden, Jever. He is listed as being wounded in early 1917 according to the Verlulisten. Probably the same man? Thanks guys - and thanks for sharing your terrific photo!

The Prussian Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Hi Mattyboy! I agree! The Verlustliste says: "Durch Absturz schwer verletzt" (Seriously injured by crash). So he was an aviator! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arb Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Mattyboy, I believe that is Bernhard Graf. He was born 18.04.1899 and attended the bayer. Flieger-Schule 5 (Gersthofen) from 1917-1918. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenn J Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Matt, that may well be Hauptmann Erich Poser. I have a note with him at FAA 212. Regards Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattyboy Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 (edited) Hi Glenn, Thanks a lot. His (Erich Poser's) medals and some paper documents were sold a while ago - unfortunately the seller only showed part of his Kriegsstammrolle. It didn't show his WW1 postings and although the auction house contacted the buyer on my behalf, I never received any reply sadly....

ArHo Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 (edited) Hi all, I know this is not ww1- sorry, sorry, if not wanted mods please erase and I will start a separate thread!, but I would nonetheless appreciate any help on this signature (This one bothered me for some time now). Picture taken in Stuttgart ca. 1885, french officer, veteran of the mexican campaign. All in all an obviously valiant soldier - but, boy, what a messy handwriting! Looking forward tor reading from you. Cheers ArHo Edited March 17, 2020 by ArHo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
