Chris Boonzaier Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 This looks to be a scarce Lippe Detmold official death certificate... but to a man of the IR69.... Can anyone figure out how that connection works?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone figure out how that connection works?? No idea, Chris. I thought at first perhaps the Prince of Lippe-Detmold might have been the regimental chief, but he's not listed that way in the 1914 Rangliste. Maybe the guy was from Lippe-Detmold but somehow ended up in IR69. Edited February 21, 2011 by Mike Dwyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was from "Ehrsen", a part of the town Bad Salzuflen, which is located in Lippe-Detmold. And that´s the reason, why this certificate was prepared. By the way, these certificates are very rare, I only know a 2nd one. I still don´t know for what these certificates were prepared...maybe for heroic deeds and special honour.

Best regards Roman Hi, So far I have nailed down Prussian, Soxan, Bavarian, Würt. death documents... from the wording on this it must be the Lippe-Detmold version... I was happy to find it :-)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was happy to find it :-)) ..not only from the wording...of course, it shows the war merit cross Lippe-Detmold, too. And as far as I know, it is the only multi-colored document from Lippe-Detmold. The other award documents have max. two colors (like the one for the war honour medal, which is green and black). Best regards Roman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
