KIR Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Hi Eric,in the Rank-List 1914/18 is no Nesper listed. But in the Infanterie-Regiment Alt-W?rttemberg (3. W?rttembergisches) Nr.121died two Nesper (maybe relatives???): http://www.denkmalprojekt.org/2008/vl_ir_a...1_8komp_wk1.htmBest regards, Jens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VtwinVince Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Eric, that is actually an "I", not an "F". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Stahlhut Posted April 10, 2009 Author Share Posted April 10, 2009 Eric, that is actually an "I", not an "F".thank you, i realized my error shortly after posting but decided not to edit out my ignorance.gives more room for discussion! so, given the absence of this name either on the rangliste or on the casualty list, the legitimacy of this cross may be fairly grim, right?

Guest Rick Research Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Not at all.Nesper was commissioned Leutnant der Reserve in IR 121 10 March 1916. Page 24 of the secret Stellv. GenKdo XIII. AK Rank List shows him in the Ersatz Bn/ IR 121 in Ludwigsburg in April 1917. That suggests he was possibly recovering from wounds and on light duties back home himself.My only source for W?rttemberg's WW1 fatalities is "Stuttgart's War Dead" (1:8 of the total) and he's not in that.My W?rttemberg sources are still incomplete, so can't say more than that at present.But typically, dR/dL suffixes got left off CONSTANTLY, so absence of such a suffix does NOT automatically mean the officer was a regular.Will scan you the page and post it later.

Guest Rick Research Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Research Gnomes are like the Borg Collective: we are one.Here is the secret Home Establishment XIIIth Army Corps "End of April 1917" listing, starts on page 22 and ends on page 24:Now, I know what you are thinking:Gee, that's neat, but what was his first name and what ELSE did he get?
