PS.Friedrich "Fritz" Friedrichs scored his 20th victory on 2 July 1918 and was thus proposed for the PlM. His death in action on 15 July 1918 meant the proposal was not acted upon. In short, Friedrichs did not receive the PlM.

Per O’Connor in the source cited below: “In keeping with the Prussian practice of generally not making posthumous awards, no further action was taken in these cases [i.e., one who was proposed for the award but died before it could be acted upon].”
