Heinrich Christian K?nig

[David M]

Hi

I am looking for a scan of an entry of Heinrich Christian K?nig a former kurhessian in later (post 1866) prussian service, pensioned 1877 as Ober-Stabsarzt. Unfortunately there are no real hints as to the kind of prussian regiments he went into (most likely around Kassel, where he presumably died in 1886). His former Regiments in kurhessian service were the 2nd Husars and the Artillerie. In my list he is mentioned as in the 1. Infanterie-Regiment, whilst the source of Heinrich Christian K. does not mention this regiment, but is not at all complete for the remainder of his career, so I do have high hopes H.C.K. is still my unnamed recipient of the CHW4.

Thanks a lot.

regards

David

David,

Stabsarzt Dr. K?nig was serving as the battalion medical officer of F./3. Hessisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 83 when he retired on 15 November 1877. He was granted the charakerisiert rank of Oberstabsarzt 2. Kl. on retirement and permission to wear the uniform of the medical corps.

Hi Glenn

Thanks for that. What would the abbreviation WV2 stand for? And what would the militairy equivalent of his medical rank be? Could you also tell me what the source is for the (second image) of full-career data?
