Silver plate, rememberance of a fallen Major during WW1

[Kaikun2001]

Hi I would like to know more about this Major, when he died and if there is any record of him. Apologies for the bad quality pictures, they are the only ones I have at the moment.

Many thanks.

Hi Patrik,
Very nice plate.
Imo it is a parting gift to an officer from the other officers, either because he transferred or retired.
Why do you think he fell on the battlefield?
Regards,
Lars

Thank you @Lars13, I assumed Scheiden meant departed, as in killed. I was able to find a major with that same surname listed KIA. Any idea where I can find more information about this major?, photos etc?

Hi Patrik,
Probably in the “Ranglisten”, of which I have none.
