Hptm Albert von Malortie

[Buddecke]

Hello,
I am looking for more information about Hauptmann Albert von Malortie. He was CO of FA A 284 in 1918.

For any kind of help, thanks.

The only thing I can add is that he was a pilot in FFA 63 from at least Dec '15 to at least Feb '16, and that he became C.O. of FA 284(A) sometime in 1917. Pretty slim pickings. R.

Neal O'Connor's Saxon volume reports from a subordinate that he was well liked for tolerating his young officers' hijinks and was a tolerant social drinker in a well-liquored squadron!
