Chris Boonzaier Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 How unusual or not is this combination?
Daniel Krause Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 Hi Chris, quite uncommon. Hamburg and Hessen were spread quite around in the whole Army. The Schaumburg cross is something else. Viele Grüße Daniel
Guest Rick Research Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 Oh that's a lovely quintet!!!! Nothing there to indicate status of the wearer-- career NCO or a dR/dL officer, or a 1920 aD with double wartime XXV. We don't have Rolls for ANY of those, but in the Collected Wisdom of the Research Gnomes, out of 50,000 officers only 1 had JUST those (but can't be him he had other stuff and wouldn't have chosen to wear pre-war XXV without them) and a mere 19 had all three HH, HT, SLK--including royals and Baron Richthofen. What's the back of this little beauty look ike?
Chris Boonzaier Posted September 13, 2013 Author Posted September 13, 2013 I must say in advance... i have the docs to the guy.... :-) Dont spend any time looking for him, I will reveal all... just wanted to get a first view reaction....
Daniel Krause Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 Otto, born 1872, entered service 1889, Intendantursekretär 1899 WW1 service in the 5rd KD and later Vorstand Feldintendantur Mil. Eisenbahndirektion 11 Was 1929 Verwaltungsamtmann beim Verwaltungszweigamt Breslau Source: Kriegsrangliste der Intendanturbeamten Viele Grüße Daniel
Guest Rick Research Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 Aha! So what DON't you know--since we inexplicably missed him (21 not 20...) Intendantur Ehrenrangliste = Born 1872, entry in military service 1889 (but not wearing 1897 Medal?) Seniority as Intendantur-Sekretär 04.04.99 X. Feld-Intendantur 3. Kav Div to summer 1916, 10.07.16 Divisions-Intendant 3. Inf Div. 26.03.18 Vorstand Militär Eisenbahn Direktion 11. In 1929 Verwaltungs-Amtmann at Wehrkreis III Verwaltungs-Zweigstelle, Breslau.
Guest Rick Research Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 BTW Christopher--this is what happens to people who withhold details from Research Gnomes that would have speeded up the information process, WTTW: Research Gnomes are old and cranky and do not have enough hours in the day to waste any. Siekmann's Beamten-Taschenkalendar 1917 (no index, of course): Ditto 1927 (ditto)
Chris Boonzaier Posted January 12, 2014 Author Posted January 12, 2014 Just to complete this... this is what he got for the schaumburg cross...
