[Bernhard H.Holst]

Hello:

The following documents and medals belonged to the later Vizewachtmeister Fritz Gautzch , Feldartillerie Regt. Nr.48:

The Statutes for the Saxon St.Henry Order and Gold and Silver Medals are also in his military estate

The documt for the Hindenburg Cross shows the recipient as "Steinbruchbesitzer" or quarrt owner, so a well to do man. He enlisted as a Einjaehrig Freiwilliger which mode of enlistment was available only to parents who could well support junior

Hello Rick.

The documents in my care do not give any indication of him reaching officer's rank.
