Hi Gents,
Today I have a question about some special abreviations in the Ehren-Rang-Liste.
I am making some research about a bavarian Stab-Offizier, I already have tracked him but I am unable to understand some abreviations near his name, because there are no similar explaining legends for them at the beginning of the book.... :-k
What is the meaning of aW (For comparaison, I know that "aD" is meaning "außer Dienst").
And the meaning of M d. L. aD (I think it means Major d. L. außer Dienst, but what is "d. L." ???? maybe "der Landwehr", but normally the Landwehr abreviation is "Ldw"). 8-[
Thank you for your help, Guys!

Hi Philippe,

could you please let me know who the officer is and the page in the Ehrenrangliste?

Regards
Glenn
 
Philippe,

the gentleman in question held rank both as a military justice official and a Landwehr Officer. He is shown in Ehrenrangliste as an

Oberkriegsgerichtsrat a.W. (auf Widerruf) - basically retired until recalled and as a

Major der Landwehr außer Dienst.

He had originally been commissioned as a Sekonde-Lieutenant der Reserve in 12. Infanterie-Regiment Prinz Arnulf on 23.11.89 from the rank of Vizefeldwebel der Reserve so would have been a former one year volunteer.

I would very much like to see his photograph!!

Regards
Glenn
