Guest Rick Research Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Not if he made Sergeant in 1918 but was drafted in 1903. Sergeant was reached by career NCOs about 5 years into their 12 year terms-- and they received long service awards. Your whoever it is was a reservist of some variety.Herr Hauck, Kaufmann of Coburg, made it to Leutnant der Landwehr and as commander of 2nd Company/ Res Inf Rgt 233 received the EH3bX and SMK (award rolls published last year ) "Magic" can be done with the right names and the right reference sources produced by the most noble, selfless, dedicated, and don't-get-out-enough of persons.... :catjava:
