Dave Danner Posted January 14, 2018 Posted January 14, 2018 Hi Andy and Alf, The May 1918 entries are the Vereins-Lazarett in Heiligenstadt and the Genesungs-Kompanie (convalescent company) of Ers./RIR 27. On page 18, it looks like "nebenstehenden Truppenteil". Despite being born in Dessau and being wounded and decorated with the Iron Cross, he did not receive the Friedrich Cross for some reason.
Imp_Cross Posted January 14, 2018 Author Posted January 14, 2018 I have all the pages, but I am afraid they are mixed during photographing them. Eventually I will post all, I hope. again thank you ALL for your time and help. Hi Dave, thank you for joining, what do you mean "Despite being born in Dessau and being wounded and decorated with the Iron Cross, he did not receive the Friedrich Cross for some reason." why why was he entitled to this cross after all. . Alf.
Dave Danner Posted January 14, 2018 Posted January 14, 2018 Albert Pichowski was born in Dessau, the capital of the Duchy of Anhalt. Among the basic requirements for the Friedrichkreuz were that one be a citizen of Anhalt and that either you received the Iron Cross or were wounded in action, or both. There were exceptions, of course. The requirements were usually waived for soldiers in predominantly Anhalt units like Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 93, Landwehr-Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 66, and Landsturm-Infanterie-Bataillon Dessau IV/12. Also, officers who commanded a sufficient number of Anhaltiners could be considered. Also, as the war went on, Anhalt made awards to its Landeskinder in units where the Iron Cross was hard to earn, such as Armierungs-Bataillone. There were about 100 awards to officers and men of Reserve-Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 27.
Imp_Cross Posted January 15, 2018 Author Posted January 15, 2018 Thank you Dave for this useful information.
Imp_Cross Posted January 15, 2018 Author Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) It seems I posted one of the above photos which is the same as before, sorry. I do not know what is happening, keep uploading the same file. Edited January 15, 2018 by Imp_Cross
