Few award citations

[Marcin L]

Dear friends,

I would kindly ask you to identify people that signed these three citations (1x EK 1914, 2x black awards for wounds).

Is it possible to tell anything more about people mentioned in the documents?

Kind regards,

Marcin

Why is there a "bug" on the last doc? Did he slip in under the scanner mat?

Great documents. I don't know is much can be said about the signers of the documents; in the first doc, he was clearly not the Colonel and Regiment Commander and was just a Major. In the second he was the Lieutenant Colonel and Regiment Commander of 37th Landwehr, operating in Russia/Poland in July 1915. The third was a Major and Regiment commander and apparently tolerated beetle motifs on his wound badge documents.

I think the regiments nick name was Maikaefer (Maybeetles) Mark

Oh yes, "die Maikäfer", the Garde-Füsilier-Regiment, still in November 1917, in 293 mm x 425 mm (!):

I seem to recall a long time ago the Maikafer discussion with Verkuilen Ager. NEAT documents. Wasn't there also a traditions badge?

For example a medal in 1926:

Here we call them "junebugs".
