Who can identify them? 3rd from left maybe HERMANN VON EICHHORN, 6th from left MAGNUS VON EBERHARDT ???
5th from left, the man in front, is Crown Prince Wilhelm.

Is there a list of what units the PLM holders belonged to at the time they were awarded?

Hello bzy16257!
The stamp on your postcard means in German:
"Wohltätigkeits-(Fond?) 24. säs. Infanterie-Division (15 or 16.) 2.(16?)

Many thanks for your help Peter!

Some more doubts:

-Cordt Freiherr von Brandis - Plm: 21.4.18 or 14.3.16? (if it´s the latter I would have 86 Plm winners for 1916).
-Erich von Gündell or Gründell?
-Emil Hell - Eich: 11.1.18 or 11.1.17?
-Hans von Kirchbach or Kirchenbach?
-Viktor Kühne or Kühme?
-Hermann von Staab or Staabs?

Any help is appreciated.

Best,

FANGIO
