Interesting info Hannes.

I have ordered O´Connors book so I will have it soon.

But I wonder how it is possible for Lt Friedrich von Hesler to be on the photo...!

According to the good article of FA 300 in Over The Front Vol 13/1, he was serving in this unit in Sinai from April 1916 until Oct 1916 when he went to Kasta T(?).

During his stay in FA 300 Friedrich von Hesler scored 3 confirmed Victories as an observer to Lt Walter von Bulow(the latee PlM holder) and he most certain recieved some Turkish decorations.

If the photo was taken in Summer 1916 it cant be the same person..

I have an earlier note in this Forum from you Hannes, that the v Hesler existed in Doublepack, so do Yoy have any idea which can explain this..?

If Friedrich has an unknown brother, it would be interesting to hear something about him ?

Very Best Regards

Gunnar
