Deutschritter Posted February 4, 2022 Posted February 4, 2022 (edited) Gentlemen, does anyone have the promotion dates for Alfred von Lewinski (1831--1906), especially Hauptmann and Major? Thanks! Edited February 6, 2022 by Deutschritter
Deutschritter Posted February 6, 2022 Author Posted February 6, 2022 (edited) I would also love to know, when his son Generalmajor Alfred Eduard August Hermann von Lewinski (1862--1914) was promoted to Hauptmann. Thanks! Here are the decorations I have for the younger Alfred (still wondering, if he may have received EK I ... maybe posthumously?): Zentenarmedaille, 1897 Roter Adlerorden, IV. Klasse Orden vom Zähringer Löwen, Ritterkreuz I. Klasse (BZ3a) Preußisches Dienstauszeichnungskreuz Ehrenritter des Johanniterordens am 1. März 1907 Herzoglich Sachsen-Ernestinischer Hausorden, Komtur II. Klasse (HSH2b) Preußischer Kronenorden, III. Klasse Roter Adlerorden, III. Klasse mit der Schleife Herzoglich Sachsen-Ernestinischer Hausorden, Komtur I. Klasse (HSH2a) Eisernes Kreuz (1914), II. Klasse Edited February 6, 2022 by Deutschritter

I'm not 100 % sure but think it was not possible at all in Prussia, or at least highly unusual. I cannot help with the promotion dates though, sorry.

Only in the beginning of 1813 there were few posthumously IC2 awards, after that I have never heard or read of any more again.
