    Thanks to Glenn we were able to find out more about Generalleutnant z. D. Franz Günther Wilhelm Alexander Freiherr von Humboldt-Dachroeden (Stammregiment: Westfälisches Dragoner-Regiment Nr. 7). Yesterday I read, his brother was Generalmajor Bernhard Konstantin Wilhelm Alexander Freiherr von Humboldt-Dachroeden (1863--1934). I would be grateful for any and every information about this officer of the Garde-Korps. A picture of either brother would be absolutely great!

    Wonderful, thank you so much, Glenn! Would you say Johanniter-Orden? I couldn't find him on any Pour le Mérite-List.

    This is what I have as of Rangliste 1914, but as Oberst/Generalmajor I am pretty sure he must have received higher classes of the Roter Adlerorden and the Kronenorden in the war, maybe even the HOH, seeing he was wounded severely twice.
