Marcin L Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Hi All, I would love to identify this one so I can put it on my website. Can anyone read the handwritten description of the picture? I would appreciate it much! Kind regards, Marcin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arb Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Marcin, I believe this is a photo of Rittmeister Georg von Meyer zu Knonow presented upon his departure from HR 11 (stationed in Crefeld) to JRzPf 7 in the fall of 1913. . A partial transcription: Herbst 1913 meinem lieben >>> zur Erinnerung an unseren Crefelder ...zeit. v. Meyer zu Knonow Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcin L Posted November 11, 2013 Author Share Posted November 11, 2013 (edited) Thank you! This is very, very helpful. I have found that in 1909 he was and Oberleutnant in HR11. He was also probably rewarded with Johanniter-Orden, but I have no details about it yet. Edited November 11, 2013 by Marcin L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trooper_D Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 (edited) Marcin, I believe this is a photo of Rittmeister Georg von Meyer zu Knonow presented upon his departure from HR 11 (stationed in Crefeld) to JRzPf 7 in the fall of 1913. Sorry, Andy (or anyone else), a newbie question: who or what was JRzPf 7, please? Edit: Cancel my last. From another thread, I realise it stands for Jager Regiment zu Pferde Nr.7!
