Oberstleutnant von Carlowitz

[Ian]

I am hoping that some one will be kind enough to supply a first name for either or both of these gentlemen (other service information gratefully received as well).

Oberstleutnant von Carlowitz - I think he was the Kmdt. Reserve Infanterieregiment Nr.103 (part of the 46 Reserve Infantry Brigade; 23 Reserve Division);and

Oberstleutnant von Scharfenort - who I have listed as Kmdt Grenadier Regiment Kronprinz (1.Ostpresssischen) Nr.1.

I have checked on-line with out luck and I do not have access to any period reference publications.

Cheers,

Ian

Ian,

Oberst Georg v. Carlowitz.

Presumably Hauptmann Carl-Wilhelm v. Scharfenort DOW on 17 March 1916.

Glenn,

Thank you for the information.

It must be Hauptmann Carl-Wilhelm v. Scharfenort as opposed to the Oberstleutant that I thought he was.

Do you happen to have any history on his seniority and wartime service?

I finally managed to scan a copy of the reverse of the photo I thought was Carl-Wilhelm von Scharfenort, but now I am not so sure.

Cheers,

Ian

Christophe,

Many thanks for the additional information, this just what I was after.

I have only just started to get into Imperial German Officers and their careers and am struggling in trying to get information.
