Gustav Borggreve, *12.04.1825 ?05.10.1903.

When he retired as a Major and commander of Landwehr Bezirk Warendorf on 09.04.1878 the only decoration he had was the 25 year long service cross. This mght be explained by the fact that he retired for the first time as a captain on 13.03.1866. He was recalled in 1870 for 5 months in 1870 as an acting LOC commandant. In Jan 1871 he was given the "Charakter" as a Major and made commander of the Landwehr District, a position he held until his second retirement in 1878 as noted above.

I think Maj.z.D. Borggreve from Warendorf recieved the RAO4 to 09.04.1878. Maybe he recieved also the long service cross for 25 years. Best regards Mike
