Many thanks JPK.

Generalfeldmarschall Gottlieb Graf von Haeseler

PLM and Eichenlaub on 22.15.1915

But he did not have any command during the war. What were the reasons for these awards, were they only political?

Many thanks VJK

Also many thanks JPK.

On the scan I can read, that Haeseler was awarded with the PLM 1870/71, but I can´t find any date for this.

Some posts ago I had written, I have only 683 names and not 687 for all PLM awards. On the scan I can read Kaiser Wilhelm II. Can you give me please his dates for PLM and Eichenlaub. I only lack 3 names now.
