Written by the later Inspector of Field Artillery, General der Artillerie Karl Eduard Ernst v. Hoffbauer (2 April 1836-10 December 1905). General v. Hoffbauer later commanded Feldartillerie-Regiment Nr. 20 and the 5. Feldartillerie-Brigade. He was raised to the nobility on 20 September 1890. The then Hauptmann Hoffbauer won the EK1 serving in Feldartillerie-Regiment Nr. 1 during the Franco-German War.

It pays to search old topics. I'm contemplating an article on artillery in the Franco-Prussian War and this is a great find.

Thanks, Hardy!
