Cheers Andreas Andreas is correct and in fact the later char. General der Infanterie Ernst v. Below as an Hauptmann and adjutant to Prinz Joachim Albrecht von Preußen around late 1903.

Odulf Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 Thanks guys. So if I understand it, he is wearing the uniform of a Hauptmann of the Prussian General Staff, with aguilettes for Adjutant. Do you have any info about his decorations? Any chance to identify the other two officers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenn J Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Odulf, Ernst v. Below is wearing the regimental uniform of Garde-Grenadier-Regiment Nr. 4 with an adjutant's aiguillette. The officer from Cassel is the later char. Generalmajor Hermann Augustin as a Premier-Lieitenant in Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 83 around 1879/1880.

Glenn J Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I think the last one will be a bit trickier. He appears to be a Feldwebel-Lieutenant on the staff of the cadet school at Groß-Lichterfelde around 1880. As such he is not shown in the Prussian Ranglisten.
