Imperial document for a neat unit...

Well, yesterday this was in a frame, today no longer.

I defend my action with the argument that it is better preserved in am archive sheet than an old frame.

Here for your viewing pleasure.....

Itttttttt's .... AQUAMAN!!!!

That skintight chainmail really CHAFES when it gets wet.

Oberst 24.7.15 R Hans Karl Gustav Berthold von Kessel, born 5.7.67 Freiburg, died 1945,

Generalmajor 20.9.18 E

char Genlt aD

Was in Inf Rgt 171 playing at being regimental from the General Staff... on General staff Vth Army Corps AFTER the 1914 Rank List came out, but before the war. Bad luck for him to be rotated through (sniff) lesser field commands... ended the war as Commander of 61st Infantry Brigade,

To add to his peacetime PRAO4mKr, PKO3, XXV, (1897), BZ3a, BMV4mKr, HP3a, MG2c, GSF3a, HAH2b, WVK3, WK3mL and ?FJ2b, all I could find was a Prussian Crown Order 2nd Class with Xs gazetted 28 October 1916.

Nice document Chris. I presume this is the one we were discussing in the Lounge?? Well worth the effort to preserve and protect!

Hi Guys,

Thanks, esp. for the info >Rick.

It is indeed the one that was framed (in 1925 according to the back). I am glad I removed it... its nice and warm in a binder now ;-)
