He would have been a major in 1917, near Cambrai.

Hello,

Arthur Eckert gen. von Roques-Maumont was a retired Württemberg infantry captain (13.9.06) who was recalled for service in WW1. In 1915 he was wounded with Landwehr-Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 120.

Thank you Glenn!! Where on earth do you find that?

He was a bit tricky. Prior to 1902 he is listed as Roques-Maumont but following that as Eckert gen. von Roques-Maumont. He retired in 1907 and unusually as a former regular officer, his wartime service is not listed in the Ehrenrangliste. Consequently I went back to about 1895 where I found him as a Sekonde-Lieutenant in Grenadier-Regiment Nr. 123. He is listed thereafter until his retirement in the Prussian Rangliste.

I found him again in a "Stellenbesetzung" of mobile Württemberg troops in 1915 in LIR 120 and again in the Württemberg Militär-Verordnungsblatt of 1916. He falls off the radar after that.

This portrait of him as a Sekonde-Lieutenant in GR 123 in the late nineties appears on the Landesarchiv Baden-Württemberg site albeit wrongly named as Roques-Naumont.

That is simply outstanding. It's brilliant information.  I take it "Eckert gen. von Roques-Maumont." means his last name was Eckert, but he was called (gennant) "Roques Maumont?"

He also served, as a young officer,  with General Freiherr Theodor von Watter in Regiment 123, according to an account I have.

Von Watter during the time in question (1917) commanded 13th Army Corps.

Do you have anything on a Major of Pioniere von Stockmeier or a chief of staff for von Watter named Müller-Loebnitz, late 1917, 13th Army Corps?

Karl Adolf Eckert (1798-1865) was ennobled as "Eckert gen. von Roques-Maumont" on 22 August 1926, taking his wife's name (Charlotte de Roques-Maumont) as part of his own. They were not directly related to the branch of Roques-Maumont which settled in Hannover. 

Adolf's oldest son died as a child. His second son, Xaver Emil Louis Friedrich (1833-1882) was a Prussian Oberstleutnant. His youngest son, Arthur Friedrich August (1835-1902) was a Prussian Hauptmann. Arthur had three sons: 

Eckert gen. v. Roques-Maumont, Arthur Friedrich Wilhelm v., *9.10.1868 in Sigmaringen
Roques-Maumont, Roderich v., *11.7.1885 in Sigmaringen
Roques-Maumont, Alfons v., *9.2.1891 in München

Only Arthur went by the full name, and as Glenn noted above, not for his entire career. Roderich and Alfons were Arthur's half-brothers. Roderich was a Kunstgewerbelehrerziechner in München and served as a Pionier in the Bavarian Army.  Alfons was an Opernsänger in München and served as a Militär-Krankenträger in the Bavarian Army.
