Rick's Recent Research

[Ulsterman]

Another little CDV I got a few years back was this chap. I loved the blanket roll over the shoulder and pipe-obviously taken as he was about to go off to fight on campaign for greater Germany (well, Prussia anyway).

In this case he probably didn't make it.

Premier Lt. Von Treskow, 1st Upper Silesian Inf. Regt #22 @ 1866.

A classic Junker from a classically Junker family.

Alas, the genealogical trail goes cold @ 1866, exhausting our resources, which means either he retired to run his Rittgut iand abuse his Polish serfs or was KIA. There are just too many Von Treskows to be sure.

Does anyone have an IR22 history? Perhaps his story is contained therein.

Thanks-

There is something positively freudian about how and where his gun is hanging......

Ulsterman,

I bet if you check your PMs you'll find a message I sent to you back in March identifying your mystery man

ack! I had forgotten! I would claim senioritus, but actually I have a rather bad concussion at the mo, so I have been catching up on posts! many thanks for the bio of Guido (a most un-Junker name). Odd that he left the army in 1870 before the "big one". As you noted, dead in 1878, aged 43.
