The second appears to be "_eydenhauß", but I can't figure out the first letter or find anyone who matches.

Max Heydenhauß.

Hi,

can anyone help with these RIR99 signatures? Best guestimate?

Thanks

Chris

[Dave Danner]

First one is "v. Schilgen", maybe Alfred from IR 13.

[dedehansen]

Hi Chris,

I read the second name as Mors.

A very tough call for the 13th comapny RIR99, In june the IV battalion was commanded by Major Rettberg, on the 1st of August by Hauptman Leiling,

There is no major on the June or August list that fits.. :-(

 

v. Schilgen fits for the other one, thanks Dave!

Hi Dave,

Magic! Thanks, I had expected that to be a dead end.... that battalion changed pretty often!

[Chris Boonzaier]

Hi, a double shot here... is the officer Von Kessel/Ressel? And can anyone make out the family name of the recipient?

Usually we see Auflösungs Kommando... this seems to be the Aufarbeitungs Kdo ?

[Dave Danner]

Wolf Diepold Christoph Tobias Balthasar v. Kessel, *27.10.1879 in Zöbelwitz. In 1914 he was Adj. of the 1.GFAB. 

Vwm. Alfred Wandelt.
