Hello,
This is my first post here. I posted this at other forums and found some important information. However, I will like to post this here too to see if someone has other information than can be found about the officer in question.
This Ulanka belonged to a Rittmeister Schmidt, who served with the 2nd. Royal Saxon Ulan Regiment No. 18, garrisoned at Leipzig. The tunic has a tag with the officer´s name, the regiment number and the date 1915
This is what I have found so far with the help of the guys at other forums:
Presumably, this tunic belonged to Rittmeister der Reserve Alfred Schmidt of 2. Ulanen-Regiment Nr. 18.
Leutnant: 22.11.99
Oberleutnant d.R.: 14.8.08 A
Rittmeister d.R: 14.8.13 G
According to the 1914 Sachsen Rangliste, he had the following awards:
1. Sachen Albert Cross 2nd class
2. Landwehr long service 2nd class
3. Sachen Ernestine house order 2nd class
4. Sachen Altenburg Ernest medal
Moreover, the Saxe-Ernestine House Order-Knight 1st Class with Swords from Saxe-Altenburg 22.3.15 as Rittmeister der Reserve on Staff of Generalkommando XIX. Armeekorps.
His only Saxon Order during the war was
Albert-Knight 1st X on 22.3.16 as Rtr dR, Armee-Munitionskolonne 2-XIX.
I will appreciate it very much if someone has more information. I know it is difficult, but a photo of the guy would be great, wouldn’t it?
