Odulf Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 The only Von Roerdansz I can find, is a S.L (rank) [2nd Lieutenant] with the 3rd Coy. of the 3rd Badisches Inf-Rgt. Nr.111. Source: Rang- und Quartier-Liste der Preussischen Armee fúr 1891. Perhaps this can be of help... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arb Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 That is Gustav Ernst von Roerdanz. He retried from the army on 21.04.1911 as a Major and battalion commander in Inf R. 137 and in 1913 was living in Wiesbaden. He was born 28.07.1863, entered the army on 16.04.1881 in IR 111 from the corps of cadets. He served as a company commander in Füs. R. 35 from 1896-1899 then transferred to the Haupt Kadettenanstalt 1899-1902, then was a company commander in Gren. R. 109 1902-1906 and then on to Inf. R. 70 as a major attached to the staff before a transfer to IR 137 and retirement. He was recalled at the outbreak of the war and was a battalion commander in Landwehr Inf. R. 81 (02.08.14-28.12.1914) at the time this postcard was written. He served as commander of four Ersatz battalions between 10.03.15 and 01.06.17 before moving to the consulate in den Haag. On 11.11.17 he was put in charge of the "Postzentrale d. stellv. Gen. St." He died in December 1923 in Hamburg. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
