About some others officers, I'm not sure they wore Pour le Mérite, but to be sure I decide to post photos

Hi,

I would be grateful for biographical information on Hermann Preusker "Der Mordbrenner van Kalisz". Attached is his picture. I am particularly interested in when he was put in charge of II./IR155 and III./IR155.
Attached is his picture from the regimental history of IR 155.
Best regards
Sven

Sven,

as far as I an ascertain, he only commanded II./IR 155 prior to assuming command of the entire regiment on 10 September 1914. He had commanded II./IR 155 since 22 April 1912.

8.11.14: Oberstleutnant
11.8.17: Oberst

He died of wounds on 12 April 1918.

This from the Offizier-Stammliste of IR 158.

Regards
Glenn

Thank you very much Glenn. You are right that Preusker only commanded II./IR155, my mistake.
