Cavalry Set

[Mooyman]

Maybe relative...

[J C Gray]

An 'Oberleutnant von Platen' was Chef of 6 (Reiter) Schwadron of II Abteilung of Kavallerie-Regiment Mitte in 1943.
This is as much as I can tell you at the moment.

Nope, wrong Platen.

This is Lt. Graf von Platen-Hallermund of 1./Aufklärungs Abteilung 2 (mot). with a seniority date of 1.9.1938 which fits with the August '38 date seen here.

So armoured recce rather than cavalry.

Nice one Simon ...I had my doubts as to whether or not I had the right man, as there was no nobility title preceding his name in 'Die Boeselagerschen Reiter'.
