arb Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 There wee no active officers by that name in May 1914. That his rank on the cover was changed to Oberlt., it's safe to say his was no wartime commission. I believe this would be Georg Berck's Soldbuch. He was a Leutn. d.R. d. IR 116 at the beginning of the war and was assigned to Landwehr Bezirk Hanau. RIR 221 was raised in Darmstadt from elements to IR 115, 118 and 168. Given his proximity to Darmstadt, I think he is a prime candidate. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Danner Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 There are two possibilities. As Andy mentions, Georg Berck, 18.11.11 Lt.d.R. (Hanau) in the reserve of IR 116, 26.4.17 OLt.d.R., then in I.Ers./IR 168. Also, Dipl.-Ing. Julius Berck, born 9.5.1884 in Darmstadt, a Ghzgl. Regierungsbaumeister. 18.8.11 Lt.d.R. (I Darmstadt, then I Essen) in the reserve of IR 168, 12.11.16 OLt.d.R., then in II.Btl./Inf.-Ers.-Truppe Warschau. Julius was wounded in Aug./Sept. 1914 with 10./IR 168 and received both the EK2 and the Hesse Bravery Medal in 1914. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
