Interesting example Ralph. Unfortunately there is no trace of him on the Volksbund or Ancestry.

Kind regards,

Will.

Better looks than the infamous one, that's for sure. Very nice item. Porcelain or something?

Yes, I know these from modern graves, we had a few made when family members passed away, but I was not aware this usage dates back so long ago.
Probably removed from the stone after the war, at the time when a German uniform with Hoheitszeichen became less popular for reasons unspecified, but obvious?
