    Oberleutnant Leo Freiherr von Gillhaussen

    Does anyone have any service record on Oberleutnant Leo Freiherr von Gillhaussen ??

    I believe that he was stationed at Haupt-Kadettenanstalt Berlin-Lichterfelde before the war .

    Pre-WW1 and WW1 service ?

    Cheers

        Hi Mark,

        according to the Ehrenrangliste he retired as a Major. I could not find him however in the 1919 Dienstalters-Liste. He is still listed in the 1918 edition as an Hauptmann.

        Regards

                        Kadett

                        Hi Mark,

                        no mystery there. It is the pattern of litzen worn by the commander and company commanders on the permanent staff of a cadet school and also by company officers at the Main Cadet School in Berlin....And also by the Adjutant of the Cadet Corps Headquarters!

                        Very nice photograph and tunic.

                        Regards
                        Glenn
