Chris Boonzaier Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 I always thought "Ritter" of the Iron Cross was used by families who sent in death notices.... this 1918 newspaper has all EK guys with the title, and sent like that from the units...
Chris Boonzaier Posted March 7, 2009 Author Posted March 7, 2009 The guy we are interested in made it from Gefreiter to Leutnant d L. in less than a year and a half. Got the EK1 as Gefreiter on the Somme
