Question- does anyone have a listing of officer’s serving in the regiment 1914-1918?

Thanks, I see several Majors. I wonder how many were Major prior to the end of war around 1916-17

 

[Glennj]

Charles,

the following held the rank of major in 1916-17

Hippolyt von Kiliani (7 January 1914)
Konrad Prinz von Bayern (10.9.14) à la suite
Heinrich Rhomberg (3 November 1914)
Eckart von Pappus und Trazberg, Frhr. zu Landenberg und Rauhenzell (19 May 16)
Heinrich Prinz von Bayern (serving with the Infanterie-Leib-Regiment)
Karl Ritter von Gonnermann (18 January 1917)

The remaining officers shown as Major a.D. in the list above were post war promotions beginning with Ferdinand von Kobell on 19 August 1919.

A couple of officers à ls suite der Armee with the uniform of 1. SRR also held the rank of major at this time:

Friedrich Graf zu Pappenheim
Siegfried Graf von Pückler und Limpurg.

There may be others lurking in the background such as recalled officers.

Regards
Glenn

I’m sure it’ll be hard to prove who once wore this bluse.

The sewn holes for screw back awards. Not sure if he wore three awards or an EK1 and an award with a duel screw post.

If I could find the list of awards per man listed. That’ll take some work…

I think that the Prussian rang list before the war
had a list of the medals awarded
but I don't have prewar Bavarian list

Still searching for a long Bavarian Ribbon bar…
