    You already have more information than is available on many WW1 casualties.

    However, I can add that he was with the 3. Eskadron of Reserve-Husaren-Regiment Nr. 6 when he was wounded, and died of his wounds in Reserve-Feldlazarett A, IX. Reservekorps.

    Groß Siemz was in Mecklenburg-Strelitz, but he does not appear to have received the Cross for Merit in War before his death.

    Groß Siemz is also not very groß - its population in 1910 was 69 and a century later its population in 2010 was 300.
