Leutwein Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Hello, I will post this naval officer with an interesting combination (Braunschweig and Württemberg). In my opinion this combination must be rare and with the Johanniter, we have to search someone of nobility. But by now, I couldn´t find any match with this combination and I´m going crazy The naval officer is wearing on his medal bar: RAO4 DA XXV China-Denkm. (in my opinion for fighters but steel were also possible) WF3a BrH3a/b I hope someone of you can put a name to this nice photo. Thanks a lot for looking.

Guest Rick Research Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 (edited) CHINA (certainly in steel) BUT... Where is his 1897 Centenary Medal????????????!!!!!!!!!!!! So: he must have been a Korvettenkapitän zur See (crown on sleeves) BEFORE 22.03.97, yet was not old enough for the war of 1870/71. I find no one with these awards in 1890s Marine Ranglisten. The Imperial Navy was TINY, then. Soooooo.... whoever he was, retired with permission to wear uniform BUT he got those awards... AFTER he left the navy?

Glenn J Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 My best guess would be Korvetten-Kapitän der Matrosen-Artillerie d.R. a.D. Wilhelm v. Veltheim. He already had everything except the Henry the Lion by 1909. A Braunschweig Kammerherr, he was awarde the BrH3b in 1912. That must be an LD1 in 2nd place on the bar.

Glenn J Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 These from the 1909 Marine-Rangliste, (the last peacetime edition he appeared in) and the 1913 Braunschweig court and State Handbook. Regards Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
