Louis Friedrich Traugott Frhr. Leuckart von Wei?dorff

[GdC26]

Gents,

Can anyone please provide me with a list of the German and German state decorations of Louis Friedrich Traugott Frhr. Leuckart von Wei?dorff, both pre-war and wartime? I owns his blue and fielgrey tunics, and would be interested in adding some further decorations to the ones I have.

I have the following list based on the 1914 Rangliste, and am interested to learn how this list changed during the war:

• Sachsen, Verdienstorden, Komturkreuz 2. Klasse (13.09.12 replacing Ritter 1st 23.05.06)
• Albrechtsorden, Komturkreuz 2. Klasse (24.05.11 replacing Offizier 23.05.08 and Knight 1st 18.04.98)
• Sachsen, Dienstauszeichnung (08.11.02)
• Bayern, Milit?rverdienstorden 2. Klasse (22.10.12)
• Italien, Orden der Italienische Krone, Komturkreuz (15.02.05)
• ?sterreich, Franz Joseforden, Komturkreuz (08.07.02)
• Preussen, RAO 2. Klasse mit der Krone (19.09.12)
• Preussen, Kronenorden 2. Klasse mit Stern (25.10.13)
• Sachsen Weimar, Orden der Wachsamkeit oder der Weissen Falken, Komturkreuz (21.06.07)
• Sachsen Ernestinische Hausorden, Komturkreuz 2. Klasse (15.01.08)
• Sweden, Schwerterorden , Rittekreuz 1. Klasse (18.02.98)
• Siam, Weisser Elephantenorden 4. Klasse (22.09.97)
• Spanien, Orden Isabella der Katolische, Komtur 2. Klasse (06.08.09)
• Orden der W?rttembergischen Krone, Ehrenkreuz (18.03.05)
• W?rttemberg, Friedrichsorden, Komturkreuz 1. Klasse (09.05.13)

Many thanks in advance for any help provided,

Hi,

For the moment I find some orders :

SV1X, 28.8.1916

SA1X, 31.10.1914

SH3, 13.6.1917

X zum RAO2. Kl mit Krone und Stern mit X

BMVO2Kl mit X und Tern m. X, 24.11.1914

Of course he received both iron crosses.

I found nothing in the Saxon Duchies and Saxe Weimar rolls.

Swords to White Falcon Commander 1st Class gazetted 10 February 1915 per Roth's work on Saxon officers. I will go back in and add his dates for the awards you have above. Whether those were AWARD dates or GAZETTE dates, do not know until somebody duplicates his lost work.

He also had a China Medal in Steel.

Many thanks, Rick, I really appreciate your efforts on my behalf.

Any idea what happened to his prewar Ehrenkreuz of the Orden der W?rttembergischen Krone?

Best regards,

Sandro

Rick,

Where do you find the date for SF1 please ? I haven't seen it in your rolls.

Christophe

[Guest Rick Research]

Just turned it up when looking in Roth's work on Saxon Hauptleute up. Not on the Rolls.

We do not know where Herr Roth got his data from. All his notes and research were thrown away after he died. Somebody will have to start all over again rebuilding that data base. :(

Any chance of seeing those tunics, Sandro? They sound outstanding.

[Deruelle]

Hi Daniel,

Where do you find such informations ?

Christophe

[Guest Rick Research]

Christophe-- that's Roth's typewritten book. I am afraid he never circulated these very widely and there is no "publishing" data since they were made as copies. :(

[GdC26]

Daniel,

Thanks very much, that is outstanding information!

Vince,

Here you go. They had been posted before, I just want to start gettign the decorations right.

Many thanks to all who have contributed,

Sandro

Many thanks, Vince. The bar was part of the original Leuckart von Weissdorff grouping, the White Falcon is a later addition.
