Dave Danner Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 Hermann Korhammer, born 17 April 1890 in Augsburg, Bayern. 25.5.17 Lt.d.R. d. 3.bay.IR, 18.3.21 char. OLt.d.R.a.D. From 30.5.17 to 19.10.18, he was with the 1.MGK of Ldst.-Inf.-Btl. Landshut I.B/7, when he became Stellv. Kp.Fhr. of the 2.MGK of the same battalion. So I would guess the box dates from right around when he was commissioned. Google says a Hermann Korhammer (1890-1973) was co-author in 1965 of "Gemeindewappen des Landkreises Augsburg". Augsburg and 1890, so probably him.
dante Posted March 17, 2014 Author Posted March 17, 2014 (edited) Dave, what a star...many thanks, I owe you a beer , I have found out he served pre-war with the 4. bayer. Chevauleger-Regt but his decorations/records are not available/obscured on ancestry.com, many thanks, Paul Edited March 17, 2014 by dante
Dave Danner Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 No service before the war, from what I can tell. He was a Kriegsfreiwilliger in 4.ChevR. http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_03_2014/post-432-0-87758700-1395097303.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_03_2014/post-432-0-41395700-1395097314.jpg
