    Info on Uhlan Officer (Ulanka)

    Hello,

    This Ulanka belonged to a Rittmeister Schmidt, who served with the 2nd. Royal Saxon Uhlan Regiment No. 18, garrisoned at Leipzig.

    The tunic has a tag with the officer´s name, the regiment number and the date 1915. The Ulanka has the new regimetal color Burgundy after it was changed form ponceau rot (poppy red) in 1915.

    Presumably, we are talking about 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

    Can someone provide me with more information about this person?

    Thanks,

    George

        Thanks for your comments. I am glad that you like the uniform. It really is in wonderful shape.

        The only information I had was the one provided on tailor’s tag until, thanks to Glenn at "THE AERODROME" forum, I learnt that it probably belonged to Rittm. Alfred Schmidt.

        I wish I could learn more……

            According to the 1914 Sachen 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

            Since he was a reserve officer he is not listed in the post war army honor ranklist.
            Imperial German Medalbars and Ribbonbars

              Paul,

              Thank you very much for your information. I guess by 1915 he must have also earned both the EK I and EK II as shown on his tunic. The other ribbons shown are thus that of the Albert Order and the Saxe-Ernestine House Order

              I wish I could have a photo of him in uniform!

              Thanks again.

              George
