Greetings Count Holck; It is Ltn. Alfred Gerstenberg. He served with MvR in Russia in the Cavalry (note the tunic) and later in Jasta 11. We have one of Gerstenberg's Uhlankas (Lancer tunics) in our collection. Herr Gerstenberg was dying of throat Cancer in the 1970's (?) and the founder of our organization dr. J.J. Parks was one of the attending physicians in Heidelberg.
