    Uwe has it right- Hugo Weichsel, commander 24.12.1914-22.02.1917. He then went on to become Arko 183.

    Hello I have two signatures that I want to find out the owners. First one is on a very handsome EKII Doc from a grouping to Bernhard Kniep (EKII, Hanseatic Cross, Hindy and a Turkish War Medal owner).

    Thanks to Kevin for referring this thread to me!

    And the second document from the Bernhard Kniep konvolut is a Hanseatic Cross document.

    Hi,

    The commander of the 4th Ersatz Division was Albert von Werder (22 July 1852 - 3. July 1936).

    Thank you so much Dave!

    One more signature to identify. This time from the home front (at least for me!)

    A handwritten Turkish War Medal document from Istanbul. Does anyone has an idea if it is signed Braun or something else?

    On a silver presentation box are engraved the name of 56 PLM winners, mostly Flieger and U-boot commanders.  But on each side are, I think, 6 names of Army Officers with PLMs.  I have had help identifying two names so far.  Any help IDing the last 4 would be appreciated!

    I can't read the name of the commander or what artillery group he commanded. Trarottoki or Traratloki or something like that? Although it was an award recommendation to German soldiers, I wonder if the signatory might be Austro-Hungarian or even Bulgarian?

    Leutnant Sureya (Teğmen Süreyya): Btl.Kdr. II./türk. 73.Inf.Rgt
    Unteroffizier Chewfki (Astsubay Şevki)

    signed, Major ???

    Thanks a lot!
