GO (GFM) Oskar Fromhold Friedrich Olof von Lindequist

[Deutschritter]

Gentlemen, as I read in this forum, Oskar von Lindequist was maybe used in the Großes Hauptquartier Seiner Majestät des Kaisers und Königs at the beginning of WWI. Does anyone know, if he was reactivated? Z. D.? If yes, did he receive any awards for WWI? I hope to soon have the list of all decorations completed. Thank you!
