Altrogge

Gerd,

by 1914 Herr Altrogge was with the V./39 Polizeirevier Berlin and had been awarded the Crown Order 4th Class (21 April 1910) and upgraded his Landwehrdienstauszeichnung to the 1st Class.

He was also promoted to Hauptmann der Landwehr I on 16.6.11. He is still shown in the 1915 Berin Adreßkalender as a Polizeileutnant in V./39. He continued to serve after the War and is still shown as a Polizeihauptmann in the 1920 Berlin Adreßbuch and a Polizeimajor in 1921.

Regards
Glenn

Many thanks for the update Glenn



Here a member of the Berlin mounted Schutzmannschaft

[Gerd W.]

pre 1898 Berlin (without Bandeau "1848-in Treue fest-1898")

[SiPo]

[Gerd W.]

Non mounted Landgendarm with Reichsrevolver and Seitengewehr for flag-bearer (Gendarmerie issue post 1900). Btw, these Seitengewehre had special frogs as well!

[Gerd W.]

Oberwachtmeister with his wife.

Because of the uniform style and awards the photo can be dated between 1871-1889. This officer was no member of a Garde-Regiment (lack of the Garde-stripe on the "Polish" cuffs) during his military service.
