Deruelle Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Hi, A very nice medal bar. It will be difficult to find the name of the owner. Except the DA and the centenary medal there is no other medals to help us through the Ranglisten 1914. He probably received the Red Eagle and or Crown Order but to neck order, so this officer should sent lower grade back to Chancellery. Like there is no Hindenburg cross, I presume that he died before 1934. Now the only thing to do is to look throug the Reichswehr RL.

M Hunter Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Dear Andreas, What a truly impressive medal bar. Best wishes Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saschaw Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Very nice bar, but probably not a general rank's. It could well be do-able! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Danner Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 With the BMV4X (Hauptmann and below) and the SA3aX (Major/Hauptmann), most likely a junior Hauptmann or senior Oberleutnant in 1914. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leutwein Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 definitely a "Hauptmann"-bar (1914)....But I would also tend to Kapitänleutnant or "Hauptmann der Marine-Infanterie". So someone who was at the beginning of the war Hauptmann/Kaleu and ended like Korvettenkapitän or may be Fregattenkapitän a.D. Nice bar!!

Guest Rick Research Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Did you people really miss me? I searched back through all the old threads for the ones without answers, so I didn't find this. I thought with so many replies it must have been answered. Sure-- Wolfgang Max Oskar Hans HERBIG * 1872 SekLt 20.05.93 U2u ObLt 18.07.02 Q6q Hptm 27.01.10 P2p Major 18.08.15 Z2z char OTL aD ca 1920 always in Jäger Bn 9 until replaced as commanding officer (08.08.15 until replaced 16.02.16). From 1916+ I don't know where or what he was. EK1 BMV4X 05.11.14 SA3aX 03.02.15 LüH 05.02.16 His portrait must be in JB 9 WW1 regimental history.

Guest Rick Research Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I'm willing to bet the first 5 medals were mounted during the war, then "scalped" after the war and the two 1920s awards added at the end rather than unstitching the other medals to put the XXV in correct 2nd place. Have seen this before when regulations no longer mattered and RM counted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arb Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 (edited) I can add that he was born 17.05.1872 and died 17.07.1954. If you are ever in Berlin, you can visit his grave in the Invalidenfriedhof! Andy Edited July 23, 2013 by arb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dedehansen Posted July 25, 2013 Author Share Posted July 25, 2013 Thanks Rick for giving the bar his name back, You made my day It´s my first WW I medal bar from my federal state Schleswig - Holstein with a name. The Jäger - Bataillon Nr. 9 came from Ratzeburg. Thanks Andy for adding his life date Regards Andreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 My first group--thanks to a friend in Hamburg--was JB 9. RJB 9 was part of the 1918 expedition to Georgia. I corresponded frequently with Hptm aD Heinrich Wolgast in the 1980s about the Bn... one of MY favorites too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
