Paul C Posted April 27, 2006 Posted April 27, 2006 Does anyone have any information on a P. Von Borstell. His name is on a Langensalza medal I may bid on. I checked the 1879 Prussian RL and the 1908/09 DOA and nothing.
Wild Card Posted May 1, 2006 Posted May 1, 2006 Hi Paul,No matches in the 1865 Hannoverian House and State Handbook, sorry. Keep in mind that he could have been a Saxon, or even Austrian as some of them also received these medals. Good Luck -Wild Card
Glenn J Posted May 1, 2006 Posted May 1, 2006 Hi Paul,the only officer with a similar spelt name in the 1866 Hannoverian Army list was a Hauptmann A von Borstel of the 4. Infanterie-Regiment...and he was killed in action at Langensalza.No Saxon officer of that name serving in 1866. There was an Austrian Rittmeister Burghard von Borstell serving in the 2. Uhlanen-Regiment in 1865.RegardsGlenn
Stogieman Posted May 3, 2006 Posted May 3, 2006 So! Did you bid? Would they have awarded this medal posthumously? Thanks! Inquiring minds and all.......
