Hi Steve, great picture and the information on your note are all correct! I only have one photo of a “multiple” grave - where the Oberleutnant von Brause was buried. He is also in the group photo (from May 1914) with the Kaiser (he is No. 29). Eberhard von Brause was only with the KIR145 (as a...

Hi Khukri, the name on the sign is “Henn” (not “Heun”) - but I suspect it might be a spelling mistake!???? According to the Volksbund: https://www.volksbund.de/erinnern-gedenken/graebersuche-online/detail/2e42bc2cc198be4c1407f7dd5da795e8 ... and the casualty list (Leib-Kompanie, IR116...

Hi Steve, in the casualty list of Inf.-Rgt. Nr.116 (1st Company) a Theodor Henn is only listed as wounded & missing: https://des.genealogy.net/eingabe-verlustlisten/search But I suspect that it might be him!? Inf.-Rgt.116 was on the march to the Marne from 18. August to 6. September 1914 (from...

Hi Sandy, thank you for the information - I'll try to find out more. I'll let you know as soon as I know more. ;) Best regards, Jens Addition: here are the pages from the source.

Hi Sandy, interesting story - you wrote about the source in your blog: "... Fortunately, he wrote down the meaning and it was kept in the Prussian Secret State Archives, at least until the Second World War (Fig. 2). Unfortunately, I don't know whether it survived the war, because my information...

Hi, yes - the 1913 catalog is great! The complete catalog has 300 pages. I assume the reprint is only for the military items (without civilian items, hunting, furniture, tobacco & other assesoirs, ...). There is another reprint catalog, but the one from 1913 is better. ;) Best regards, Jens

Hello, beautiful piece - the owner was probably Philipp Friedrich RÜHL (* 8. April 1890). (5. bay. FAR: 7. Jan. 1914 Leutnant der Reserve; 17. Jan. 1917 Oberleutnant) Best regards, Jens

Hi John, here some few informatons. Best regards Jens Bogislaw Otto Friedrich Hans Georg von Ramin (*1884 †1916)
