Dave Danner Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 Hi Chris,R.I.R. 10: Oberstleutnant Sch?nwasser. I will see if I can track down a first name.RegardsGlennTo add to Glenn's bio post in #32, on mobilization in 1914, Sch?nwasser left GR 11 and became commander of III./RIR 10. Obviously, he moved upstairs sometime before January 1917. He was still in command of RIR 10 at war's end.
Dave Danner Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 Thank yee kindly! Any idea what rank he had ?All the bestChrisGeneralmajor from 18.08.1917. Generalleutnant on 18.12.1920 retroactive to 01.10.1920 He retired in January 1926 and was promoted to char. General der Artillerie. If there's a 1925 Reichswehr rank list it should have his awards; he's out by the time of my 1926 rank list.
Glenn J Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 Chris,R.I.R. 17 could be Oberst Theobald Frhr. v. SchroetterRegardsGlenn

I am work now so will check when I get home.RegardsGlennWilhelm "Willi" Matthia? of IR 155 took command of RIR 46 on mobilization. He received the pour le M?rite on 22 November 1917, by then probably a brigade commander, but I don't have a unit. In June 1918, he took command of the 25. Reserve-Division. In October 1918, he took command of the 207. Infanterie-Division. He died 23 September 1919.
