Hi,

the name is "von Bartenwerfer" there was a staff-officer under Ludendorff´s command by this name. But if it´s him or a relative I don´t know.

This is a great start, GreyC

Thank you

Actually,

the  correct  name is von Bartenwerffer. During the war there were two Oberst and one Generalmajor as well as one Oberleutnant active by that name. Your Hauptmann in 1907/09 was Major at the beginning of the war serving in the Großer Generalstab and ended it as Oberst and Chief of Staff of Generalkommando 55.

Hello!

I think, Grey C is wrong.

According to the Oldenburg medals, Major v. Bartenwerffer of the Generalstab didn´t have any Oldenburg medals.

I´ve found the right one in the 1908 ranklist in Generalstab V.Armeekorps Posen.

He promoted to Hauptmann 20.3.06 and in 1909 he served with 5th comp./Leibgarde-Inf.Rgt,.115 (Hessen)

He had this Oldenburg medal:

Ranklist 1912: Chief of staff (3.Division Stettin), additional medal: RAO4, Hauptmann

Ranklist 1913: Chief of staff (3.Division Stettin), Major (prom.1.10.12)

Ranklist 1914: Generalstab der Armee, Großer Generalstab, Major

I stand corrected. At least I mentioned that there was another one.
