Hauptmann Geissel (Gie?el)

[ccj]

Here's a very interesting, to me, ribbon bar ID'd to Hauptmann Geissel from Pionner Bat. Nr. 4.

Nice Anhalt ribbon bar.

[RAO]

Hello, are you sure that this ribbonbar is from a Hptm. Geissel?

Thanks and greetings, Mike

[Guest Rick Research]

Gie?el had a KO4 before the war.

I don't find any other "suspects" in Inf Rgt 93 right away though.

I like the early M1915 "crank handle" ribbon bar.

[RAO]

And a Hptm. Gie?el had the HOH3X in 1917.

Regards Mike

[ccj]

Maybe he removed the KO4 and replace it with the HOH3X in 1917.

Mike, do you have someone in mind????

[RAO]

No, I've just checked Hptm. Geissel and can not find him with HOH3X but a Hptm. Gie?el with HOH3X.

Best regards, Mike

I guess the biggest problem is I may have written Geissel when is should be Gie?el.

[Guest Rick Research]

You baaaaad. You try treek gnomes, bad mon!!!

Well, I couldn't find anybody else. Anhalt's Rolls for everything have disappeared, but since their main troop unit was IR 93--and no matches there-- I'd say Gie?el (hold down ALT and hit 0223 over on the numerical keypad right side of keyboard for that lovely B shaped double s) was doing the Fashion Statement

WAR AWARDS ONLY here.

Seems strange to omit a single ribbon, but we've seen that before. In this case he may not have wanted to follow Prussian regulations of the time and put a mere peacetime gong ahead of his Anhalt war awards.

In this case, the Ernestine makes all the difference since it is not simply an Anhalt group with normal Prussian stuff. You've got Gie?el, spot on.

[ccj]

Oh, the old "ALT 0223" trick... gets'm every time..

Well, it must not work in Arkansas... maybe Bill and Hilary took that with them. :unsure:

Hi,

I have naturally the MAGNIFICENT Triple Ernestine Duchies Rolls of 2008...

But at first I have made from my old databases a mixed of the prussian ranklist from 1914 and the weimar ranklist from 1924...that was work enough.

DR M means Major of Deutsches Reich (Weimar), DR33 in my other lists stands for Drittes Reich.

Best regards

Werner

Thanks Werner, I've not heard of Major of Deutsches Reich.

That's just Werner System for searching, however he's got things set up.

Werner is a Rogue Gnome -- he doesn't use the Krause System???

Werner is quite as old as me and we Pre-Computer guys did things the only way back Then-- long and difficult. Now...

I am ALMOST fully re-trained on Krause System, having had MY own Rick Version for many pre-computer years. That's why I'm not always consistent about Rank List Speak abbreviations.

Everybody should use Krause System.???
