Possible on ancestry.com ?

[Chris Boonzaier]

Hi,

I no longer have access, so cannot say... but with just the name BIECHL, and the fact that he was a Feldwebel (possibly) and served in 11. Komp of Bavarian Res. Inf. Regt 2...

Would it be possible to find something?

Thanks

Hi Chris,

Would this be your man:

Kriegsranglisten und -stammrollen des Königreichs Bayern, 1. Weltkrieg 1914-1918 Bavaria, Germany, WWI Personnel Rosters, 1914-1918 about Lorenz Biechl

Name: Lorenz Biechl Birth Date: 3 Jul 1895 Combat Arm: Infanterie Type of Unit: Ersatztruppenteile der Infanterie-Regimenter Unit: II Ersatz-Bataillon/2. bayer. Inf. Regt. (München) Volume: 4502. Gesamt-Renner

There are several sets of records for him, but this unit seems to fit.

The Biechl in 11./b.RIR 2 was Franz Xaver Biechl. He was born on 10. Nov. 1881. Entered service 24 Oct. 1903 in 16.IR and transferred to RIR 2 on 2 August 1914

01.10.04 - Gefreiter

01.08.05 - Unteroffizier (Kapitulant)

24.04.09 - Sergeant

24.10.12 - Vizefeldwebel

07.08.14 - Feldwebel

09.09.15 - Offizier-Stellvertreter

Decorations were the Prinz-Regent Luitpold-Medaille, Military Merit Cross 2nd Class with Swords, Military Merit Cross 2nd Class with Crown and Swords, Bavarian Dienstauszeichnung 1. Klasse, and Iron Cross 2nd Class. He was wounded at least once, but there appears to be water damage to the Kriegsstamrolle, and that part of the page is hard to read.
