Deutschritter Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 (edited) Very nice picture, Giannis! Is that the Oberst z. D. Ziegler who commanded the Landwehr-Bezirks-Kommando Speyer and retired 16 December 1886? Do you have any further dates? Complete name, birth date, death date, marriage, children etc? I would love to know more! Thanks! Andreas Edited February 12 by Deutschritter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
