Glenn J Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Jeff,the only Schruff in the Prussian Army was one Anton Rudolf Schruff, an Hauptmann on the staff of Badisches Fu?artillerie-Regiment Nr. 14 in 1914 and then the Artillerie-Offizier vom Platz at Coblenz. Promoted to Major on 27.1.15 and eventually commander of Reserve-Fu?artillerie-Regiment Nr. 15. presumably your man?RegardsGlenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
