Unnamed Officers from GRzF and GGR 5 1897-1914

[arb]

Over the last few months, I put together a list of all the officers who served in the 5. GRzF and GGR 5 from its creation in 1897 to 1914 as reflected in the Ranglisten. So far, I have been able to identify all of them except the following few. I would appreciate any assistance in obtaining their first names, dates and places of birth (never hurts to ask!). At some point, I plan on creating a "homegrown" Stammlisten with their careers, as none where ever published during the regiments' existence. IF you do havee any information, I would also appreciate a source citation.

Thanks very much in advance

Andy

Nice, my grandfather and his two brothers were all "Kriegsfreiwilliger" when they joined the 5. GRzF in August, 1914.

stay tuned-more to come. Sorry-just found this old thread looking for the Wegerer thread.

I hope this was of some use?
