Alfred Welss

Lt. Alfred Welss flew with Jasta 28 late summer of 1917 and was awarded the Wurttemberg Friedrich Order of the Knights Cross 2nd Class July 1918. He was credited with a kill August 21, 1917 (possibly Paul Raney of 66 Squadron). Other than that I know about zero regarding him . Anyone have some background on the man?
Thanks.

I can only add that in 1916 he was a member of KG 3, apparently with his brother Rudolf, and that he was appointed OzbV of Jasta 28w in Aug18, which post he held to EOW. Not much info. R.
