request IR82

[westfale]

Hi!

I need your help in a tricky research...

I am looking for an LtCol getting the ek2 in 1914 - probably for the battle of liege -, and  after checking the  prussian "Rangliste 1914" I found only two LtCol in the Regiment: Wünsche and Schallehn. So I would ask you about some more information about these two guys: does anyone of you have info about there military career or any other info? I was searching a lot of time, but without there full names or some more details... Or did I "lost" one more guy in the IR 82 (2. kurhessisches)?

Thanks for your help!

best wishes for 2010

Yes, Rick - I know: it sounds not professional, and normally i am not someone with such nonprofessional questions!

Here's the background: It's based on a photo rearside signed 1914 with an LtCol with "82" on his shoulders and wearing an ek2-band. So I guess he got the ek2 in 1914. And because I would like to know who he is I ask here because of the great community and the possibility of research him...
